Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
Hi All,
Today I was driving my TJ '01 back home from another city about 120 kms
away. There was nothing different till I came up to the off ramp and
stopped while making a slight left curvy turn. When I started moving again
I heard some binding noise from the back side of the TJ, but once I
accelerated more than 20 kms per hour speed there was nothing noticeable.
I tried the same thing again at another position and the same noise was
heard. I tried it again with my head sticking out of the door and the
noise is definitely from the back.
Could this be somehow the rear brakes binding a little bit before fully
releasing when I start moving? Or is it something more serious than that.
I intend to get under the TJ and wiggle some things and see for any kind of
oil leaks and stuff tomorrow morning (its night time in New Zealand
rightnow). Any ideas about which areas I should be concentrating on?
Oddly enough, I had stopped at a shop on the way back to get a quote for an
Old Man Emu suspension upgrade fitting that I am planning on getting in the
next few months. There was no noise at the time or I would have asked the
guy at the shop.
Thanks

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
Do you have the Trac-Loc rear differential? Crawl under the TJ and look for
a small metal tag on the differential saying "limited slip additive
required."
If so, it is a limited slip design with clutch packs that can sometimes bind
slightly if the rear fluid has not been changed in a long time. Fluid should
be changed every 30000 miles or so.
Most brands of differential fluid already contain the additive, but if not,
you can buy a small bottle of the additive at most auto parts stores.
Tom
If so, change the rear differential fluid.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
Do you have drum brakes in the back?? If so, they always have some
residual pressure on them by design, you could have some valving going
bad, or the shoes are sticking for some reason. Good luck with that.

residual pressure on them by design, you could have some valving going
bad, or the shoes are sticking for some reason. Good luck with that.

| Hi All,

| Today I was driving my TJ '01 back home from another city about 120

and

moving again
| I heard some binding noise from the back side of the TJ, but once I
| accelerated more than 20 kms per hour speed there was nothing
noticeable.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
TW:
If you have the TRAC-LOC plate type limited slip diff, it sounds like
"stiction" in the plates to me (will usually show up after a highway drive
and up to full temperature, then upon making a turn under power). This is
normally fixed by a fluid change, adding the recommended additive and
driving some "figure 8's" to work the fluid in. It should be OK by then.
This is providing the plates are mechanically sound. If not, further
repairs could be required.
