Help with strange scraping sound
While off-roading this weekend the '95 Wrangler developed a slow
scraping sound that sounds like sheetmetal edges rubbing past each
other (low pitch). It happens only while going downhill and braking
with the engine. It happens in and out of 4WD and on paved and unpaved
roads. Nothing seems to be hanging on the driveshaft. It sounds like
it comes from the center of the Jeep but it is hard to pinpoint. I'm
suspecting something related to the clutch or transmission (can these
things make such a sound?). All shifting seems to be fine. Also the
noise does not happen when braking with the engine on the flat. Any
ideas are apreciated.
Thanks

Exhaust hitting something, due to bent exhaust or worn motor mounts. Please
me know what it is, because I have a '95 Wrangler too. ;^)

Re: Help with strange scraping sound
I would be checking out the drivers side engine mount. When it breaks
the exhaust can hit the front axle when decelerating.
