I recently had the following work completed on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited at Jack Williams:
Left out tie rod
New Driveshaft
CV Repair kit
Draglink
Upper Ball Joint
Lower Ball Joint
CV Driveshaft
Track Bar
The day I picked it up it was making a new front end noise, it has this BANG, bottoming out sound when hitting certain bumps and dips in the road straight on and on turns. I have brought the jeep back to JW 3 times already and they say they never hear the noise and that everything looks good. Lastnight we replaced the front shocks thinking that was the new issue. This didn't fix a thing. I shouldn't have to cringe driving down a bumpy road!
Any ideas as to what in the world may be the problem? I have read that the track bar may not be tight enough, but they are telling me it is. I have a hard time sometimes trusting shops like that, as something is not right here.
IDEAS??
Look at the rubber bump stops attached to the frame just above the axle. They tend to deteriorate and fall out of the brackets. They are cheap and can be had at jeep4x4center.com
Front CV drive shaft may be adjusted too long and is bottoming out when hitting a bump. There is a large nut on the shaft, Try loosening it and go hit a few bumps to compress it to the proper length then tighten the nut back up.
