i started to get a pop noise from what seems the left rear, only from stops here in northern ohio. lift is bastard 4" rear on 98 cherokee with 4" lift coils in front. on accel, when i punch it, everything is fine. when i stop, slowly roll and take off, i get a pop noise felt in the drivers floor board. all shocks in rear, and springs look ok. 98 cherokee, with 1" transfer case drop, any ideas?

 

I have the same noise!!!! on my dd... 98 cherokee....

i'm blaming my noise on bad control arm bushings, well, every bushing...
how them ball joints?

 

Yep start buy checking all your bushings and u-joints,also check your u-bolts for tightness.

 

well all the ujoints are tight. from suspension seems ok. has the cheap stamped front lower control arms still. ill check those, but the noise seems to transfer from the rear to the front, and can be felt in the floor

 

On mine it was the slip yoke. Took it apart and re-greased it. Just make sure not to ruin the clap when you take the boot off.

 

you said from the rear so you can count out ball joints also... and control arms... rear ujoint is number one cause... can also be ring and pinion... and pull apart that left drum... maybe brake is hanging up...

 

"Only from a stop" is the important part that makes the slip yoke a 99% probability. I must has asked 50 people about it before I went to the trouble to fix it and all of them said slip yoke right out.

The brake could also be the cause I suppose...can you stop on a hill...get going again and roll to a stop...then try? I think that would rule out the brake.

 

thanks for all the helpful suggestions, left rear u bolts needed retorqed. the outside ubolt had about 3 turns on it. noise gone. might be helpful if anyone has this issue. thanks.

 

no ****. glad you found that!

 

careful... they will get ya! lol

CF Rule thread

Censor
3. We have a censor in working order so use it. DO NOT get around the words that have been censored by using other characters such as 1 etc. When posting simply type in all the words that you wish to say and if they come up with asterisks then just let them be.

 

if they want to ban me for that...go ahead It would be a little different if I was getting ****ty with someone (see, used it that time). Some sites go to far with censorship for "family friendly." People making racial slurs, e-fighting, dropping the f-bomb..sure..but most of us are grown enough to deal with a "naughty" word for poop.

 

oh i agree... 5 years in the marines... theres nothing that offends me... but not my rules either... lol... i just wanted to make sure you knew... thats all! take it easy!

 

No no, thanks for the heads up.
