Grind/Click Sound - Front Axle
97XJ Sport w/Dana 30 front axle. Noticed a few days ago an unusual
noise during slow speed tight turns. Parked the Jeep and used the daughters car to finish up last week of work. Now that I'm on vacation, I jacked up the jeep yesterday, and it sounded like the brake pads ( the vehicle was inspected a couple of months back, and they passed it with a note that the pads would need to be replaced soon). So, wife drives into the city and picks up new pads on her way home from work. I replace them, and I'm still getting the noise on the passenger side when I spin the tire. Does it with the vehicle lifted and when the tires are straight. This same noise was also made when the vehicle was on the ground/stationary, and turning the steering. I replaced the hub assy last fall. I looked at the u-joint, and didn't notice any play...but, I know looks can be deceiving. Any thoughts? Am I looking at replacing the u-joint, or do I have a defective hub assy? Thnks, Eric in NNY |
