Grinding Noise while making Left turn
[QUOTE=foxmxrcer;3273176]A bit confusing... But if I understand you correctly.....
Grinding noise while making left turns, is it quiet while making right turns? Or at least a lot quieter on rights.
Only makes noise while in motion correct?
The grinding noise starts when I'm make a left turn and when I stop and accelerate going straight as well no noise at all making a right turn. The grinding noise only occurs when I'm in motion. Your recommending that I change out the right wheel hub? Being the noise starts when I'm making a left turn.
Makes noise while going straight, but louder on left

Give everything a good look over. I had a weird noise when I turned left for awhile. Turned out that my tcase drop had sort of modified the shape of my exhaust and when it was removed my exhaust sat slightly closer to the floor pan. After awhile when id make a left turn the exhaust would push up against the floor pan/trans tunnel and amplified that noise into the cab. Since then I've had a whole new exhaust installed.
Just saying it could be a dozen different cause, but start out by checking your hubs.

If I were you, and had both hubs out, I would also replace the axle u-joints too because with the hubs off, it's easily pulled out of the axle.
Just be careful with putting the shafts back in.
Also what year is your jeep? They changed hub dimensions in mid year of 1999. So if it's a 1999, you have to check to make sure you get correct hubs.

My XJ is a 2001 and just to be absolutely on point with your advise change out the right hub not the side its coming from which is the left and I did change out both u joints already but I will double check once I have the hub out.
