hello, i do some backyard mechanic stuff on the side and i am going this week to fix a 94? i think, grand cherokee with all wheel drive. and i just wanted to see if you guys have any ideas before i get there of what to look for.
i am told that it makes a clunking noise from the front end when its driven, i was told going straight or turning makes no difference in the noise. and the steering wheel does not pull. it has brand new brakes and new front diff fluid(80/90w). also i thougth maybe it would be axle joints making the noise but i was told they are cv's not ujoints.
thanks

 

sounds like ball joints or more likely track bar.

 

Shocks will sometimes give you a clunking due the fact that the lower bushing will get worn and allow movement. A set Bar Pin Eliminators will take of this problem. I put a set on mine and it really quieted down the front end.

I am using the JKS

 

you guys are thinking of bumbs and things rattleing but its more like something turning thats bad, maybe cv axles or soemthing in the diff?

 

All Wheel Drive? It's prob the viscopler(sp) in the t-case. Very common problem. Can sound like noises in the front and you'll notice strange front tire ware...
