2001 GC New Shocks - Rear Sway Bar Loose?
 

About a month ago, I had new shocks intstalled on my 2001 GC. Since then, I
keep hear a pounding noise whenever I hit the slightest bump (riders side,
rear). I poked around and it seems like the rear anti-sway bar is a bit loose
and may be the source of the sound.

Question: When new shocks are installed, does the anti-sway bar need to be
unhooked or loosened?

Thanks for any help you can provide...

Re: 2001 GC New Shocks - Rear Sway Bar Loose?
 

Yes, usually it has to be released on one side to lower the axle enough
to easily change the shock. For sure it has to go if the spring needs
moving.

Could be. Also may want to check for shiny spots along the exhaust
where it makes that quaint little kink up and over the axle and
swaybar. Usually can be fixed by replacing the rubber exhaust mount.
Stiffer shocks can be just enough to get a small whack where the old
ones wouldn't.

Can't imagine why.

Have the shock mounts checked as well, to make sure they aren't loose,
or have the wrong bushings. It could also be a bad shock. Brand any
model of shock might spring loose something from someone else that ran
into the same issue as you.

I have a 2001 GC with same issue. Have not been able to track it down.
Thought it was a bad shock and replaced them but still have the "thump". I
am begining to think that their is some slop in the bolt holding the shock.
May be a sleve missing in the bolt hole which would allow it to bang into
the bolt on small bumps.

Just a thought gents, but when was the last time you greased your rear
driveshafts? If you have a fixed yoke and I think you do, the slip
joint on the driveshaft will clunk if the grease gets dry.

Hi,

Anti-sway bars can sometimes slip laterally. Here's one cure:

Thanks for all the replies for far...This thing has been driving me nuts for a
couple of months. I've checked everything mentioned. The Midas guy thought it
was from loose inside panels. I've checked all of those....Put foam rubber
around my CD changer, tightened every screw, and a put a cushion on top of my
spare tire. The bumper panel on that side seems a bit loose and it put a piece
of rubber between it and the frame, but it didn't help!

Well, I just spoke to my friendly Jeep service advisor. He said it sounds like
the control arm. There's one on each side with ball joints looking like a V
pointing inward. I have an appt Wed am. Will post an update then.

Thanks again for all the input.

To update you helpful people....As it turns out, one of the new rear shocks
installed was defective. The Jeep dealer test drove it and put it on the lift
to confirm it. Pissed, I took it back to Midas and they had to order a new
one, but I'm glad to finally resolve it.

I can now remove the towels around my spare tire and CD changer!

Thanks for all the help. It's almost time to "play" in the Michigan snow!
