93 Cherokee Front axle whine

May 07, 2004 4 Replies

A friend has a 93 Cherokee with a whiny front axle (whine is at almost any speed, he says it gets worse at different speeds). He's bringing it over tomorrow for me to try and diagnose.



Any foresight from anyone appreciated, he wants to replace the whole axle, but I'm sure we can get off cheaper than that.

|| Jeep, because life is an adventure, not a race. Hell, if you were to say it was 2WD, I would be inclined to say it was normal, my girl's XJ front axle (2WD, yes...I know) has always (Purchased with 2 miles on it) had a whine, or more appropriately, a howl.

whine,

axels don't whine! just u joints,which usually click if they are very bad, bearings which usually get worse when turning, and ring and/or pinions. usually have a rythmic sound.

find out which and just fix it. john
