Dust shield contacting the rotor possibly. Push it away from the rotor on that side and go for a spin.

Jack up the front end and turn the wheels by hand and listen. Try it with the wheels turned left and right.


Sometimes looking under the car is more productive than looking online. It's not even a jeep thing

Problem with shipping these is the filler neck often gets broken.

I picked up a Spectra from NAPA and the neck was broken. Doh! Had to go back and exchange it. Moral of the story, check it before bringing home! Esp before dropping it into the engine bay and hooking everything up.

U can test a rad with a bicycle tire tube. attach it, install the cap. pump it up and see if it holds air.. worked for me.

TC takes the cheapest auto fluid you can find. ATF or Dex is fine. I don't have the axle info in front of me, and I don't wanna guess
