Hi every one first post and new jeep owner,

Just Got a 99 2 door Cherokee and I notice there is a clunking noise coming from the front suspension when I go over bumps. It is completely stock. Any ideas what this is?

My '98 was noisy. The front sway bar bushings were shot so it was slapping around. $12 and 20 minutes later, it was way quieter.

Have a look. Bushings should be tight around the sway bar. Any gaps, play, or wear, replace them. Once mine were out, the round hole was oval.

How hard are you hitting the bumps. Mine did it when i hit a bump really hard and it turns out the little cushion on my stock bump stop on my passenge side had popped off.

Going over snow bumps n the road about 4-6 inches tall at 20 -30 mph. I just bought it so the place I bought it form is looking at right now and is going to have it fixed.

Mine was plagued with a CLUNK. I couldnt figure it out. I replaced Everything! all the steering system, tie rod ends, control arm bushings... shocks... to find out it was the busted drivers side motor mount....

Found out today it was the sway bar bushings which were completely shot and the place i bought it from is replacing them for free.
