Problem can't figure out

[Jonathan Buck Ricker]

I went to royal blue in tennessee yesterday and nothing broke on the trail but as I was heading home that was a knocking from underneath the drivers seat and every time I heard and felt it it would jerk my jeep to the right can anyone give me answer on what might have happened and as well I had to start double peddling the brakes to have a brake pedal

Have you crawled underneath your Jeep to see what might have broken, bent, or started leaking yet? You said there's a new noise coming from under your seat, that's where to start looking.

X2 to to what Jerry said. Crawl under there... If it's as violent as it sounds, it should be easy to spot I would assume.

 

[Stinger]

Interesting. What did you find when you crawled under it and looked?

 

[Binnie]

The front drive shaft cardan joint would be just about under your seat. I would check the transfer case yoke and joints in that area.

I haven't seen anything broke or leaking the drive shafts r fine

It's possible that you've got a bad u-joint in your driveshaft(s). That's something that you likely wouldn't be able to visually see unless you took it out.

Easy (and cheap) to replace, and it wouldn't hurt as a form of preventative maintenance.

There wasn't any play in either and it kinda looks like I might have broke a rear spring

Really? Wow... Take photos if that's the case.

What kind of springs are they?

That's definitely going to make some noise.

Double peddling the brakes? Does the jerking happen when you hit the brakes?

Check for fluid leaks in the brake lines and also the reservoir.

Also check your rear brake wheel cylinders. They blow when old and leak fluid inside the drum. You can see it leaking out by looking underneath at the backing plate.

Stock springs

No it jerks just normal driving

Anything is possible. I'd be surprised if a stock spring was snapped, but if you think there is a snapped spring, just get under there and look. It should be obvious if that's the case.

No kidding? Well, that's not too expensive to fix, fortunately.

 

[Ahoragi]

Yeah simple fix. Get a Timken bearing if you can and be sure to torque that big nut properly.
