Hi, My 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 185000 miles has a brief knocking noise that starts loud and quiets for 1-2 seconds once the clutch disengages from the flywheel. I am not sure if it is related, but when I am driving and release the gas without pushing in the clutch, the jeep catches and harshly...

My Jeep has been displaying an EVAP Engine code P0456. The engine light appears once i reach roughly 3/4 tank of fuel and then goes away once I reach the reserves. I have read other forums regarding this code but none of them specified when it turns on and off. Is this a sign of a specific fix...

I just replaced the water pump in my 2002 Jeep Wrangler 4.0, right after install it started to make a squealing/screeching noise. I figured it was just wet from coolant and would eventually go away, but it has been a few days and its seeming to get worse. I attached a video of the sound its...

Thank you for all of you replies. It is definitely not in four wheel drive, I took out the front driveshaft because of a huge dent right in the center of it. Seems like the common answer is the front axel u-joints. I'll try the test that AjRagno suggested tomorrow. Thanks again.

I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler 4.0 and recently whenever I turn at slow speeds, under 10 mph, the steering wheel pulsates /jerks until the wheel is straight. I checked the power steering fluid level and its a little low, about a half inch from the "add" line on the dipstick when cold. Any Ideas...

I looked into every possible cause for a high speed vibration including u-joints, balancing the tires, wheel bearings, pinion angle, you name it. Turns out the front drive shaft had a dollar coin size dent right in the center. I took it out and it drove flawlessly with zero vibrations at any speed.

Alright great, thank you for your advice. I'll check out that thread.

I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport and installed a 2" Pro Comp suspension lift kit. The lift came with no additional control arms or suspensions components of that sort to accommodate the lift. I did not think that those parts would be necessary considering it is only a 2" lift, however, I have...

Upper or lower rear control arms?

So if i were to install a slip yolk eliminator and an adjustable driveshaft, would I need new adjustable control arms?

I don't have either the SYE or the double cardan driveshaft. However, I did install a one inch transfer case drop. Maybe that wasn't enough?

I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler that has a Pro Comp 2 inch lift with 32 in tires. Ever since the lift and tires there has been a vibration, mainly from my seat and center console, that starts at 50mph and gets worse and worse as I go faster to the point where the vibrations shake the mirrors where I...

I drive a 2002 Tj with a 4.0 and it has had a small tick after a few seconds after a cold start and it comes and goes until it is totally warm. Just recently I started the cold engine and it produced a much more violent tick almost like a knock, the engine ran much less smooth as well. I shut...

I changed my oil roughly 2000 miles ago and I recently checked my oil and found that I was 1.5 qts low. I have had trouble with oil leaks from the valve cover gasket so I replaced it, and it seems to be holding up ok, I think. Since replacing the valve cover gasket and cleaning the valve cover I...

I was thinking I could drill out the bolt either through the bottom or through a hole in the tub. Then I could buy a new nut and bolt to replace the bolt that broke. Is there another way I could do it, maybe rethreading?
