weird knocking noise from rear help!!
ok.. i have a 90 xj that about 4 or 5 months ago i installed a 3 inch lift..2 months ago replced the rear brake shoes..suddenly about 2 weeks ago..i hear a 'clunk' come from the passenger side rear wheel/axle..only when i hit the brakes at low speed. i have been all over it and cannot figure out what it is! it sound like someone whacking the tire with a bat one time..only at low speed..only once per stop..any ideas?

Or that strange Travelocity gnome is hanging under your Jeep and keeps getting smacked into the rear diff everytime you hit the brakes??? Sounds plausible if you watch enough of their commercials....

Im with Cameron in this.
Also: You need to check the e-brake cable.
When lifting, the outer casing usually gets stretched tight and can cuse some unwanted strain on the inside of the drum.
Why would the Travelocity Gnome be under there? And if he was, where's his film crew?
