Denny's... Always... Gotta feed my hungry belly

 

I'm planning on doing a ride along with my brother

 

Sweet. Glad to see you there in person at Least

 

I'll start mods on my jeep soon so I can make it back out to the trails

 

It's no problem man. Do what you can and take your time. Whenever I get back on the trails with you will be fun! But I'm in no hurry

 

Hey this is off topic, bu i have a loud clunking in my front end when i hit bumps. I have gone through and replaced all joints in all the arms. And my track bar is tight. It kinda sounds like a metal on metal sound. Could this be my wheel bearing? I need help onfigure what this is! I wana go but i dont want a huge dasaster on the long journey up.....

 

Check the lower part of your shock sometimes the bushing wears out then you get that metal to metal sound.And for the unit bearing jack up your tire and see if you can wiggle it.And were are you located?

 

Im on whidbey island. And ok. Its just a pretty loud clunk. And i did the bearing check and got nothin. Its got brand new ball joints, arm bushings lower, an i re-preloded my upper x flex joints. All my track bar mounts and bushings are snug. So i have no idea..... I might just say f it and take an extra wheel bearing and go... Just dont want to injure my buddys riding with me on the trip up.

 

possible motor mount.

 

Could a motor mount do that? Its only on bumps. Not if i just rev or something. Ab only started recently... Its definitly in the front though.. Could it maybe be because i have a spring spacer up front, and the spring is now hiting the rough country track bar mount? It only happened after i did the spacer.... And the spring is hella close to the mount now. Sounds almost like spring on metal...

 

You might be just a little to paranoid... I guarantee it's something a lot more simple than you think. You said your spring is contacting your track bar mount? When you put those spacers in, did you adjust your control arms to length again. Your caster might be off which is causing the spring to hit. I had the same problem with my sway bar and my spring, made that metal hitting a spring sound

 

Oh and x2 on your shock mount bushings. Highly possible as well. Mine do it and it makes that ugly clunk sound... I'm getting bar pin eliminators when I get new shocks

 

Looks like we have about 15 people going so far...

 

Idk if im being paraniod.
But its a loud clunking... And ya i reset the camber. And i also re mounted my hole sway bar farther forward. So it clears. So no idea what it could be... Only things i could think is wheel bearing.. Ill try unbolting me shocks an see if it still does it. Hopfuly thats all it is

 

Well we all know our jeeps make the weirdest noises, I'd say being paranoid about a noise your xj makes is all apart of owning one! Just take your time and figure it out, I know you'll be ok. Gotta have you there on the 7th
