Default Wierd sound?

My xj seems to have an issue, sometimes, not all the time, when I take off or when I'm turning, itll make a sort of "dud dud" sound and you can fell it. Any ideas?

Your description Is a little vague but it sounds like a u joint. Like I said that's just a guess but those go alot on xj's, and will click or thump when turning if it's an axle u joint and itll vibrate usually if it's a drive shaft u joint.

Well, to make sure, try jacking it up, and see off there's any play in the u joints buy grabbing the axle shaft side of the u joint and then pulling the tire back and fourth just a bit. it's not a bad idea to get new u joints just to have em if they do go bad if that's not the current problem. I highly recomend paying the extra money on the ones with grease fittings.

It's the transmission mount, the bar under your xj right in the middle pretty much, theres a mount right above it... I took it to my friend who has a hydraulic lift, and it's not really bolted anymore. Can't seem to find a new one though =\

I'd rather do ujoints all day that screw with a t-case but that's just me. Prolly cuzz I've gotten so good at u joints lol. Having my own hydraulic lift, everytool you can image, and air tools, it makes life easier as well.
