weird noise
Hi... New to this newsgroup stuff... So go easy !!
I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee... Its brilliant in every way, ( except that it drinks expensive English fuel ! ), But on occasion, and not every time, it will make the most incredible grinding noise from what appears to be the back axle while doing a full lock anti clock wise ! Very off putting ! I've looked underneath, around the tyres etc... But nothing obvious leaps out at me. Any suggestions ? |

Over on this side of the pond we call that counter clockwise, but the issue is you get this noise when turning at full lock. > Very off putting ! > > I've looked underneath, around the tyres etc...

Could be your rear diff is a limited slip (you will notice by a round metal tag on one of the bolts that hold the cover on) There are several others in this group that are from England/Scottland. For me it's a bit of a drive. ;) -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://members.cox.net/wilsond HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge! |

They seem to especially grab when you have been driving on a mostly straight highway for a long distance and then make tight turns |
