Vibrating/grinding While Turning
So after my camping trip this weekend, I'm getting a new noise from my front end. When I start my Jeep up, there's this loud noise, almost like an exhaustive leak, but it doesn't get louder with higher rpms. After the rpms drop, it quits. But when I accelerate on a left turn, it makes this grinding noise that I can feel too. Someone suggested bearings, but I can replicate it while parked. I checked, and nothing is loose underneath. I didn't do any wheeling, so I didn't put it through any hell. Thoughts?

If thats not the case then I would put the front end on a lift, shake the tires and look for any sort of movement, if everything is solid grab a high power hose and spray the front end off. Then double check your drive train in the front all the way back to the transfer case. Sounds like when you turn both tires are turning as the same speed causing spooling.

Found it and fixed it. There was a broken exhaust hanger toward the front.
Now as far as my death wobble, it's the tie rod AND the track bar. Now I just need to get to the jy and try to find some Grand Cherokee upgrade parts. Am I looking for a ZJ or a WJ?
