Title: New Sound
Post by: YoungFluff03TJ on February 04, 2012, 10:46:30 AM: Alright this one is stumping me a little bit. The past week or so I've noticed a that when in 4th gear there seems to be a little more rumble coming through my pedal... thought I was crazy as this is a very subtle thing. But then driving home yesterday I noticed a noise.
Turned the radio off and listened. Seems to be something to do with rotation, the best way I can describe it is like the well known 'dashboard squeak'.... but louder and coming from the bottom of the jeep. It is very notiveable when accelerating from 2nd gear on, cant hear much in 5th (perhaps due to wind noise covering it)... and it only SOMETIMES happens. When coasting it is there 50% of the time, whether in gear or not. Jacked up the front end and turned both wheels as fast as I could and nothing. Jiggled this and that but nothing seems there. Havnt tried the back end yet but am getting to that hopefully today.

Ideas?

Your ability to take what you dish out with good humor should astound you as well. :)
