Awesome...thanks for that guys...guess ill get the punch and start hitting away...

 

Ok, so I jacked up the front end. yanked on both wheels every which way. There is no play. Any other ideas as to why I am getting this humming?

 

A bad wheel bearing will not necessarily have play in it (actually, usually won't). The humming is from the bearings being dried out and wearing down. The hub/bearing unit needs to be replaced.

 

Oh ok, I heard from a search that the wheel will have a little play in it. Checked out the Timken, looked well rated. But can't find it locally. I'll be ordering it online tonight.

Thanks!

 

if I have stock wheels with 5 or 5.25 or whatever backspace it is and I get 1.5" wheel spacers will that give me 3.5" backspacing?

 

Definitely the best and easiest way!!Ive done my homework. Im about to do the same thing.

Wooooow...so I got the last shock on...and decided to investigate why my carpet get so wet in the back when it rains...Hm...wish I would of left it...

Ended up pulling all the back carpet out all the way down under neath the back seats....

Well come to find out under the rear seats where the jack is the floor boards are RUSTED through!!! Lol, I swear if ain't one thing its another!

So my question now would puttin a piece of sheet metal down and like siliconing it down work or should I weld a piece down over it?????

Sincerely..

A person who Needa advice aaaagain!

Oh and ps....I'm going to sand everything down...paint wise and herculiner it all...no more carpet...

 

Not completely rusted through...but holes I can stick my fingers through...

 

So I have a 95 XJ and I hit someone... Now when I turn my wheel a certain way, it makes a popping noise... Any possible ideas as to what it is?

 

I did my wheel hub bearing with timkens a bit pricey but sooooooo worth it drives sooo smooth

 

Is it possible to mount a hi lift on the hood of an xj? I don't think it will open

 

When you say you turn your wheel a certain way be moe specific. Is it only on sharp turns, wide turns. Could be steering linkage. A u joint. Sounds pike something is loose for sure though

 

No, I can just have it in park and I can barley move the wheel and it makes a popping noise.

 

One fast thing you can try is go under your rig and grab ahold of the tie rod and u joints and I forgot it's name but the rod connected from the steering box. Move it around there should be no play. Sounds like something got jammed up when you hit someone.

 

Probably... My passenger finder is crushed along with my bumper... So you think that might have jammed something?
