I hate to do it but i would like input on my clunking/banging noise I am experiencing on my 95 grand cherokee 4X4. I have searched thru other threads but really don't know where to go next. My jeep clunks or bangs on right hand turns only if I hit any kind of bump along the way. Feels like it is right under my left foot and sounds to me it is on the drivers side. Typically at low speed as I turn into my driveway. I have replaced shock rubbers, trac bar, sway bar end links and also swaybar mounts. Have also replaced both cv axles, both hub assemblies and ball joints on both sides. I have also put new bushings on control arms. Tightened up steering gear box last night to no avail. I am at a loss. Jeep has 3in lift on it. Saw a thread about checking coil spring clips but I do not know what they are. Only thing left I can think of is put all new tie rods on it and new steering box. Motor mounts are new. Have not looked at tranny mounts though. I can't see anything rubbing when tires are at a hard right hand turn but you never know. Any help?

 

check the joint in the steering column right by where it connects to steering gear box

 

I will look at that tomorrow. Kind of like a ujoint?

 

yeah a really little one

 

Went out and looked at steering box and arms and had wife turn wheel left to right. Crawled under and was able to see that mounting bracket for trac bar is loose. Can see it moving side to side. I am pretty happy now that I have founds the source of the banging/clunking noise.

 

I know you posted this thread awhile back, but can you tell me if tightening the bracket worked? I have the same issue (the clunking) on my '94 and am set to spend a couple hours on it this weekend. Hopefully its not anything too major--the jeep gods have been asking for more sacrifices than i can handle this winter!
Thanks

 

Was in bed with the Mrs and heard this loud banging it was the headboard, how strange lol
