For the window issue, the motor may not be burnt out, but whatever connects the piece of glass to the motor might be. Also I know the seat motors have little plastic gears in them where the teeth from the gear can break and cause the motor to be ineffective. I'm not sure if the window motors have the same kind of plastic gear, but if they do, the plastic gear is probably broken.

As for the knocking, is it more of a single pop? Or is a continuous knock?

 

sounds like every tire rotatin it seems

 

That sounds like the axle shaft u-joints. Make sure you are not driving in Part Time 4wd on the street. Only the 4wd Full Time can do this and you may or may not have that option.

If it is in 2wd then it sounds like the axle shaft u-joints are going out.

 

its in 2x4 so damn jeep lol but anyone know how much of a ***** a rms is a 4.0?

 

Bump. anyone got any idead for the window? and how hard is a RMS?

 

1) window regulator

2) drive axle u-joints

 

Also where can u buy replacement pats?
