New to Jeep... Need Help!
Having problems with my front end.
Have 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 4.0L
Front end I believe is Dana 30 & Rear Dana 35 C-Clip
I was going to work around 4am then heard this harsh noise like if it was the bearing then a hard constant thump noise (all coming from the Front Left side). Pulled over my steering was a bit off. Came to a completely stop and dropped it to park. Came out checked and everything was fine. Took off after a couple of miles then it did it again. Kept pulling over and over, roughly about 20 times on my way to work and the way back.
Changed the bearing/hub and opened my Differential but everything was fine.
My question is, What can it be?
My U-Joints, Axles, Bushings, Rods, suspension or transmission?
I would appreciate the feedback. [/LEFT][/LEFT]

If it is a repetitive thumping and not just a rattle or a clunk, you need to look at things that are turning while you are driving. Likely not suspension related. Nothing changed after you replaced the hub? Check the ujoints.

Old fart with a wrench

How does the rotor look? Is it at a certain speed when it would act up? Faster you go is it worse? Does pushing the brake make it go away? Sorry for the questions. Just trying to get a little more information on the problem. Welcome to the Forums!!!!

Nothin with the rotors or turning. Always makes the noise after I go above 60mph on the highway. Then I pull over park it and drive off without a problem. But it's constantly. Nothing happened when I changed the hub.

Replacing th u-joints but I already shattered 3 of them in less than one day. Idk the correct way to install u-joints.
Any tips feel free to reply it would save me another 100 bucks.
I should of took it to a mechanic instead of me throwing money away.
