So I just finished putting my 4.5" RC lift on my 2000 xj and I have been driving it back and forth to work just to check everything. As I go over small pot holes or rough road there is a rattling noise coming from the drivers side front. My sway bar bushings are worn to almost nothing so I just ordered that today to try and see if that is the issue. I also wanted to chime in here and see if I should be looking for something else. I actually thought it was my wheel bearing but I put lifted the front and that seems solid to me when I tried to check for play.

Want to get this fixed before I get it dirty.

So I took my sway bar completely and it is still making the rattling noise. Should I just replace the bearing hub? Anyone have any ideas?

Passt

Is it a rattling, as in thin metal hitting thin metal? Or is it more of a clunking? I had a clunking from the same spot, and found that the jam nut on my aftermarket track bar had come loose, and the track bar was wobbling at the adjustment point, causing the clunking noise during certain times, one of them being when I went over bumps. I replaced hub assembly, bearings, etc, until I decided to look at the track bar Hope this helps.

do you have spring retaining clips at the bottom of your coils?

Crap. I think that is it. I do but if I remember correctly the one on the drivers side did not come grab the spring

If they dont fit over the coil just tighten them down or take em off, i don't see why that wouldn't work.
