I'll be at the coffee run on Saturday morning in my blue xj if anyone else is attending see you there.

 

What and where is this? I won't be able to make it but sounds like fun to me!

 

Jeep guys get together in Newport news show off new mods and ideas. Mostly just talk jeep.

 

That's cool. I just wish it wasn't Saturday mornings. I usually work.

 

I think it's MPJAI's weekly meeting. Pretty good group to look into if you're on that side of the water.

 

just want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and help seems I need a short axle shaft for Dana 30 with ABS for my 98 Cherokee if any buddy has one please help

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

 

So check this out I have a rock crusher diff cover I thought it was for a dana 35 but its for a 8.25 Chrysler diff does anyone have that axle, im letting it go for a good price.

 

So I am at fort lee for a few months near Richmond for a military school. Plus side is I have off on the weekends, anyone know of any places to go off road or anything around here

 

Shoe Creek isn't too far from you. Flag Pole and the rest of the national Forest. If you go to Jeep Forum in their Va section it has a whole thing for Richmond va. Trails. At least t used to.

 

thanks ill check it out.

 

So I came back from a long drive today, no trails or anything just a few hours on the highway and when I pulled into my spot I heard a knock noise from the front of the jeep. I pulled out and drove back over a few bumps and it seems to be coming from the front passenger side. By looking at the front steering and suspension I'm thinking tie rod end, drag link, or track bar. Anyone have any similar issues or suggestions?

 

Is it only knocking when you are moving or both moving and sitting still? How many miles and what suspension mods do you have?

 

I run 33" tires, brand new shocks put them on a few weeks ago. Sway bar bushings and ends are new. I'm sitting at 4.5" of lift and have had the lift on for about a year. The jeep has 186000 miles on it. The knock or clunk noise is when moving usually when I have the steering wheel turned and I hit a bump, but also does it sometimes when I hit bumps or potholes. I'm not 100% sure but it sounds like it is front passenger.

 

Any death wobble at all? Just trying to narrow stuff down. I'm thinking ball joints are starting to go, but it could be a few things. It honestly could be something as simple as the spindle nut
On the top of the passenger front shock is loose and the shock is "bouncing" when you hit a bump. Check for play there, the ball joints, and inspect the tie rods and also track bar bolt at the axle. None may be worn enough to cause any vibrations, but something's loose.
