Ok, so I have a 96 XJ thats making a weird noise that sounds like its coming from the front drivers side of my xj. It makes a high pitched whining noise, but it doesnt do it when I turn the wheel. Ive replaced the power steering pump not to long ago and like I said before it doesnt make the noise when I turn the wheel. It doesnt make this sound all the time but now most of the time(it just started one day). Any ideas of what it could be? If need be i can try to give more of a detailed description...just ask lol.

It will do it in park and when I'm stopped at a light...I have opened the hood to take a look and it sounds like its coming from the power steering pump area but i just replaced that and there isnt any leaks..so im a bit confused lol

Not since I've owned it(and from the way the guy treated my xj before i got it, i bet he didnt either). Would there be any other "signs" that thats what the problem is? How can I check it?

That sounds about right, ill check it out and most definately replace it and see if that helps. I know Chevys water pumps will leak when they start to go out but wasnt sure about the cherokees

My girl is lifted too, so hopefully she wont be too difficult lol. I've found out that almost all the parts on my XJ I've had to replace more than once,...especially the motor mounts lol.

Thas funny. im on my third xj and it's a 96, and I've had to replace more parts on this on than the other two combined and they were both older. totally worth it though.
