CLUNKING

Feb 27, 2005 6 Replies

Okay, so the 98' Cherokee I just picked up (to replace my beloved wrecked 96) is great, EXCEPT for the severe clunking sound in the right front somewhere when I hit a bump, pothole, etc. Drives nice, tight, tracks well. etc.



I'm thinking bushings- torsion bar, A-arm, etc. OR ball joints somewhere. This a common problem? Where's the first place to look?



Thanks, Mike



A done Sway bar link willclunk clunck too, Easy to diagnose.... Get two guys and the sway the the suspension using the fron fender up and down. you should cleary ear clunck clunck. And if you are 90 % sureit's the problem but dont want to sepnd the 60 $ CAN the pieces worth disconnect it and go for a ride.... Not dangerous..... Except dont do thight corner at high speed....

Thanks for the tip. I'll check these out today. Makes sense, seeing that I can't detect any looseness in steering or suspension.

And go straight to jail if you kill someone because you lost control while driving with a major safety feature of the Jeep like the anti sway bar disconnected.
