Hello! New to the forum, but I figured what better place to find answers than a Jeep forum! I have a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk Elite and absolutely love it. However, we went mildly off-roading a few days ago, and were in an area that there were quite a few small tree/stick stumps, and you could definitely hear them hitting the undercarriage. After we got done, we hear a ticking/rubbing noise that sounds like a stick in the wheel well, but there isn't anything there. We only hear the noise when driving, and it speeds up as the vehicle speeds up, but goes away during harder acceleration. Drivetrain? In the hub? Where do you think this noise is coming from and is it an easy fix? If it was a stick, or something stuck in there, I think it would've broke off by now. Thanks!!!

 

crawl under your rig and look for debris.

also this is the XJ jeep page, a much older model than your TrailHawk. How about reposting on the TrailHawk/late model jeep page? The XJ is so old that it is considered a classic rig. I am so old that I cant remember back when I was only a classic. I think I am getting near the fossil stage of life.

Good Luck, Keep a Jeeping!

 

I've moved this to the KL Jeep sub forum.

 

Thank you guys. Figured it out, as the skid plate was dented, which was rubbing on the drivetrain. Sorry about posting it in the wrong area.

 

No need to apologize. Thanks for posting back what you found!!
