Re: 95JGCL noises!
I never knew Grand Cherokee's(or any Jeep vehicles) used CV joints in
the axles. I thought those were only used on IFS vehicles. I know my
'92 XJ and '96 ZJ both have standard U-Joints.

Re: 95JGCL noises!
If you have a front axle U-joint or CV joint making "a lurch, thump and
knocking sound", then it is about to fail.
When they fail, they can and usually do jam. When they jam, things like
axles and hubs can explode and the tire can lock up solid. It 'can'
destroy the whole front end with the explosion and/or send you into
cartwheels down the highway.
I sure wouldn't drive it much more until it got fixed....

The 93-95 can have either CV or U joint, it depended on the engine
and transfer case combination. CV joints make for smoother turns.
