'Click' sound under XJ

May 31, 2005 5 Replies

Hi,



Sorry to break in here on alt.witches.and.bible-bullshit, but I was wondering if anyone could help me track down an odd sound under my XJ.



Basically, when crawling slow on uneven terrain, I hear an intermittent 'click' sound as the suspension articulates. This is not a deeper 'thunk' sound that I've previously heard (and often felt through the floor) due to loose control arms, loose spring bushings, broken shock mounts, or loose track bar bracket.



The click sound seems to be coming from the transfer case area, but I can't get a fix on exactly where while driving and I can't reproduce the sound by jumping on the bumper. I crawled under and checked the torque on the cross member and the major suspension bolts, but nothing was loose.



Any ideas on diagnosing this one?

I just did an oil and lube two weeks ago, but I try again to see if it helps. Thanks. Any other ideas?
