Well after a trip down the Quebec Route 364 from the laurentians my scenic
route with a posted 90Km/h speed limit, I got my Family and ZJ, Canoe and
Bikes etc through the worst teeth rattling shakedown ever. I averaged 40km/h
on the most pitted and bumpy highway I have ever been on.

The good news is that all that rattling created a crunching vibration
especially when turning right. which upon inspection of the wheel led to my
finding out that the front u joint had an almost half inch play forward and
back.
I had it replaced by a friend( lack of Time and comfort with the job),
$31.00CDN for a heavy duty U joint from CDN Tire.
I also had the Pinion seal replaced since it had been leaking. $15.00CDN
from CDN Tire. Paid $80.00CDn for the job.

The funny thing is a few problems I thought I had have all disappeared.

My front discs are not warped after all......( Had them changed 10K Km ago)
no more head nodding and clicking sound when stopping.

A tendency to wander on the highway is much reduced and the steering feels
more solid.

A hollow sound clicking noise when in FT 4WD which the mechanic said was
normal is gone!

A clunking sound from the front right which was diagnosed as a bad front
shock is, you guessed it GONE!!

I think the looses joint also may have caused the pinion seal leak as well
from all that moving around.

Since I bought the ZJ Used and had no knowledge of how a new one felt, drove
etc The transformation and NVH improvement is incredible.

Anyway thanks to you guys for the insight and help in getting this Jeep
steadily into better and better health.

Cheers,
