Car Forum / Jeep / May 2004Odd noise and stuff
Buddy of mine contacted me today, asking if I knew what was going on with his Jeep. I'm at a loss, hoping someone here might have a suggestion. Here's his description: "i was driving home from work yesterday, when all of a sudden WHUMP - it was like I applied the brakes hard and quicky...then let off them to keep moving but since then, whenever I'm moving - I hear this click click clikc click sound that increases as I go faster. Also, I feel the vibration of it when i hold the shifter in my hand..." The sound only occurs when moving, and increases with speed. Putting the Jeep in neutral does NOT eliminate the sound. Sounded like simply a rock in the tire tread to me, but he apparently verified that's not the case. Suggestions? Dave http://mysite.verizon.net/res0p2es/david/index.htm You sure could be describing a blown u-joint. You need to block the wheels and put it in neutral to unload the driveshaft and go under and inspect and twist and turn the u-joints. He has 2 on the back driveshaft, 3 on the front and 1 out near each front wheel. I suspect the rear from your description.

Stop driving it till you check the drivetrain. My first guess is a U-joint has gone bye-bye. If a rock is causing vibrations it's going to be a rilly BIG rock. :)  SignatureDougW Hi Dave, You are describing the transmission's output bearing, probably what he felt was it's ball separator cage coming apart.
