Hi,
i have some trouble allocating the grinding voice that i have on my 1996 xj, its getting frustrating. I have inspected my cross joints , outer bearings, changed my tyres, brake pads and rotors. I even greased up everything and the grinding voice is still there. It went off on low rotations and dissappear after acceleration (streight steering wheel) . It rhymes with the rotation of my tyre.
I also did change my engine mounts, there was some issues while turning sharply. The car kinda bounced on sharp turns. Its gone after changing the extremely broken engine mounts.

Did anybody experience the same thing?
Would be nice to share..

 

Did you lubricate all the steering parts through the zerk fittings? Also called grease nipples, you need a grease gun to use them. I've had a few annoying noises quit since I refreshed that grease.

 

The dust shield for the brake rotors are known to cause this sound. The clearance is tight and if the shield is bent a small amount it will rub on rotor.

 

I have greased all the nipples with my big grease gun. LOL I do it quite routine.

 

That was my first thought. But it has good tolerance between the rotor. I dont see any problems.

 

Thanks for your replies. Anyway. I'm using a right sided steering cherokee.
