I'm have some trouble with my jeep right now. When ever I turn at crawling speeds or corning with a load on the engine I get a weird grinding/rubbing noise from what I think is the front end. It just started doing this the other day and I can't figure out what is doing it. I have checked u-joints, tie rods, ball joints and bearings all are tight. I took the front driveshaft out hoping that was the problem but it was not. This is my dd so I need it to be safe. Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Did you check your fenders/wells for signs of rubbing?

 

yeah i had cut my fenders before i had bought my 32s, and then trimmed more. this noise comes even when turning slightly. also this morning i heard a pop when i pulled into a parking spot

 

anyone????

 

You said "checked u-joints, tie rods, ball joints and bearings all are tight".. I'd have to ask 'how' you checked them. Grabbing an axle and trying to wiggle it won't necessarily show you a bad u-joint, and there's a much better chance of them making a 'clicking, grinding' noise than a tie rod end or a ball joint. And 'tight' bearings too?
