    Knocking when accelerating

    Hello all! Just getting the Jeep out and running for the year, noticed something new since it went into storage last year (if not new, at least louder) When starting from a dead stop (whether turning left, right, or going straight) once I get up to about 4-6 mph (not sure of RPM's) there's a...

    Vibration ~ 55-60

    I need to replace my front U joints (doing in a week or two) and this Jeep has had a vibration or wobble I guess you'd call it when I hit around 60 MPH. Oddly enough, it's not all the time, and it varies in severity. Sometimes it's hardly noticeable, sometimes it's about a 6/10. Before I...
