Im new to the whole jeep world so no one laugh at me
I just bought a 98 cherokee 4.0 4wd
it is lifted 6.5-7 inches on 35 inch toyos some sand tires
Here goes the questions
1) What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting???
2) When i first take off it feels like there is something loose on the passenger front tire its like it wobbles some but with speed it goes away (only noticable to the driver) any ideas?
3) It only makes this noise occasionally but, When i accelerate then let off the gas a little there is a noise sounds like something is slipping (from the driveshaft area) but if i hit the gas it goes away


I know im not very detailed but i havent went too deep into the problems yet I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this without further details
thanks guys!

 

#2 make sure you have all of your lugnuts. I had a few (luckily not all) fall of last winter and I guess it's not totally uncommon.

 

Sounds like you need a SYE (slip yoke eliminator)
thats what the vibration is when you let off the gas..

 

Check u joints in drive shafts... These can account for a lot of DS noises, etc. Also check wheel joints.

 

Only prob I can think of is if either DS has a cardon joint instead of a u joint then I'm pretty sure you just have to get new shafts... I think...

 

I checked the driveshaft ujoints Will check the ones upfront tommorrow......
