I have a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4. For the past year there was a terrible thumping noise underneath intermittently when accelerating. It has become progressively worse. We have been told we could have the front wheel drive chain removed, making it only 2wd, and the thumping would stop. About 2 weeks ago while driving it made a breaking noise and now it thumps constantly while accelerating. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this please! Thank you! Dawn

SOURCE: 1995 jeep laredo suspension swap

If both vehicles are Grand Cherokee's a lot of the components will fit. Some of them are not worth putting used items on because they may already be worn out. The mounting of control arms are virtually the same. The front axle on the 2wd looks like a gutted out 4wd axle. The most common issues with that suspension is the "Trac Bar" and "Steering Stabilizer". Those usually last 60k to 90k unless you take it off-road then 30k. The trac bar is the bar that hooks from the housing over to the frame, side to side. The stabilizer looks like a shock attached to the steering linkage.
Good luck, I hope this was helpful?

SOURCE: I am having a problem with the 4x4 on my 91 jeep

You can take apart the CAD vacuum assembly on your front dana 30 and install a 1/2 inch bolt to lock the inner and outer stub shafts together. That will solve your problem. The vacuum actuated system sucks, to be kind. Or like this joyellowhors says and get an aftermarket one piece shaft.

My 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee is making a grinding and thumping noise in the rear. I can't distinguish if its coming from underneath or in the rear wheels. The thumping and grinding only happen when I coast,...

Check the rear universal joint on the drive shaft for wear or evidence of rust. Take hold of the driveshaft and check for excessive play. Check for excessive play in the rear axles and look for leaks from the seals while you have the rear tire off. Hopefully the noise is not related to an internal issue with the rear differential.

I have a 1994 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4x4 that will not go into 3rd gaer. goes into first and second fine but will not go into 3rd. please help!

I have a 93 that had a similar problem with the difference being that mine wouldn't shift out of 3rd up or down. It turned out to be the Trans Control Unit (under your dash on the firewall near the steering column).

Hope this help.

1999 jeep Grand cherokee

Its a bad rod bearing. I worked at a jeep dealer for a few years and its common. Not that jeep will say there is a problem. However I wil tell you that the engine can last a day or a year makin that noise mine did it for 4 years lol. I put lucas engine oil treatment in it too....Seemed to help. Also know someone who used castrol oil but a thin grade like 5w20. the thinner oil is able to get between the beaing and the rod better thus quiting the noise...
