weird noise

May 31, 2005 2 Replies

Hi... New to this newsgroup stuff... So go easy !!



I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee... Its brilliant in every way, ( except that it drinks expensive English fuel ! ), But on occasion, and not every time, it will make the most incredible grinding noise from what appears to be the back axle while doing a full lock anti clock wise !



Very off putting !



I've looked underneath, around the tyres etc... But nothing obvious leaps out at me.



Any suggestions ?

Over on this side of the pond we call that counter clockwise, but the issue is you get this noise when turning at full lock.

I would hope not, as nothing is more dangerous than a leaping obvious. Except for maby a hungry leaping obvious with long sharp pointy fangs.

A few but first, it helps if you also say what year your jeep is. Could be your rear diff is a limited slip (you will notice by a round metal tag on one of the bolts that hold the cover on)

There are several others in this group that are from England/Scottland. For me it's a bit of a drive. ;)

Do you have the Trac-loc limited slip. Sounds like a tight new trac- loc. They seem to especially grab when you have been driving on a mostly straight highway for a long distance and then make tight turns
