These are both cheap and easy fixes.
background; had rear end noise, opened it up and found all the bearings bad and the ring and pinion bad from the bearings being so worn. changed all and the bearing whirl noise went away. 2500 miles later i have the noise that you guys descibe above. i though maybe i did something wrong to the rear end, opened it up and everything checked good. put it back together and went for a road test. sure enough when i put the tranny in neutral the noise all but goes away.
when i bought the jeep the tranny leaked at the rear seal so i changed it before anything would happen. however, i feel that this may have a contributing factor to what i believe is a tranny bearing problem. the noise is a deeper growl noise but i was also wondering if it could be the drive shaft? this jeep has the CV type of drive shaft at the tranny end and your standard u joint type at the rear. thoughts????
Thanks to the fellow that gave me the advice.
Does anyone know what might be causing this noise? And if so, is it a cheap and easy fix? I know very little about cars, and I'd rather not have to spend a ton of money on this repair, even if the noise makes me cringe every time I hear it.
I have replaced the following:
both front axles
both front (and rear) shocks
both front brakes and rotors
After these items were replaced the grinding STARTED
It felt like the front right wheel bearing.
So, I had it replaced.
Noise still continues.
I am going up to Merchants to having it checked out again.
Grinding is NEVER a good thing.
I really don't want to replace all the ball joints, I think they just replaced the wrong wheel bearing assembly.
Hopefully they will replace the drivers side wheel bearing AT COST since I spent $450.00 just to replace the passenger wheel bearing.
I printed out over 20 auto parts places that had the hub for less than 75 bucks. I was charged 250. Not happy.

I'm getting a cluncking sound and feeling transmitted to the sterrring column whenever I slow down abruptly or come to a stop. This is a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 4x4. Anyone else have this problem?
check this to make sure tight. I think it was 16 iir 18 mm wrench
Since December 2010, my check engine light has come on five times. I've included below what was done each time at the mechanic.
73,797 - P0456 Error Code - Evaporative emission control system leak detected (very small leak) - 11/26/10 - Possible loose gas cap, mechanic tightened and tested cap and reset the OBD.
74,102 - P0442 Error Code - Evaporative emission control system leak detected (medium leak) - 12/7/10 - Gas cap tested bad, mechanic replaced the gas cap and reset the OBD.
77,718 - P0455 Error Code - Evaporative emission control system leak detected (large leak) - 5/31/11 - Possible loose gas cap, mechanic tightened cap and reset the OBD.
77,865 - P0455 Error Code - Evaporative emission control system leak detected (large leak) - 6/10/11 - Mechanic replaced the evaporative vent solenoid (solenoid was clicking loudly on the 11/26/10 date) and the crankcase vent hose (hose was cracked); reset the OBD.
78,161 - P0455 Error Code - Evaporative emission control system leak detected (large leak) - 6/21/11 - Mechanic suggested going to the dealer because they have an advanced computer system.
My questions:
I've researched this on Google and it appears that many have had this issue on different Chrysler vehicles, many with no resolution. My mechanic said he could do a smoke test (pump smoke through the evaporative system) to see if that shows anything, but he said that this can be expensive to track down the problem. The dealer wants $95 just to run diagnostics (which would apply to my estimate to get it fixed, assuming they figure out the problem).
Have you heard of this? If so, what have people tried?
Any other suggestions?
The mechanic said I could drive with the light on, but this makes me uneasy, especially if I go out of town. I have noticed a decline in gas mileage. Other than that, it may run slightly rough here and there, but overall doesn't seem phased by this issue. I haven't spent a ridiculous amount of money so far, but I'm trying to keep the costs down on this.
Thanks!!
Anyway, I noticed, what seems to me, a whooshing, air-like noise. The noise seems to come from right up front, around the dash. I can turn the car off and the noise is still there.
My husband drove it the last couple days and he says he can hear the noise but not sure what it is and other than the noise it runs pretty well. Any ideas what this could be?
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
175000 miles
4WD but doesn't work (differential went out, had changed to 2WD)
2. I also can hear a rattling noise from my left rear side, its like a light metal grinding on some wheel sound.
3. Large fart like sound a few mins after I turn off my car from the front dashboard ... might be the AC? whats up with that?
Anyone knows what is causing it or faced any similar problem?
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited - 67,000 miles (108000KM)
1) idles funny
2) in drive or reverse it will act like it dies on you sitting still
3) going down the rd it jerks (small or large jerks), it will feel like a car accident or the vehicle will act like it shut down for a quick second
I've got a grinding noise on the front driver's side tire. Its more of a howling noise. Everything in the front has been replaced (Ball joints, Tie rods, Wheel bearings). I had my mechanic take it apart and the front differential fluids were a milky color and the gasket was gone. Yes, I got stuck one time out in the mud with it before. But I am not positive if its the bearings in the front differential or if its the transfer case itself. Any ideas?
