If the CV/intermediate shaft get real bad there will be a thumping sound, at least Chris' was by the time we changed it out.

| Post subject: | Thumping Noise: UPDATE on orignal post |
I just had the front drive shaft replaced and now I have a deep sounding thumping noise that wasn't there before. I put it in 4WD and there isn't any change from 2WD. It starts at about 40mph and doesn't seem to increase with speed. As I said it is a deep sounding noise, like a base note. I'll be gone until Monday, celebrating our 16th. anniversary, so I won't be able to take it back right away. Any ideas anyone? Terry UPDATE: I took the KJ to a garage to have Al's A-Arms put on & new brakes. The drivers side arm hits the spring. It's on a lift when it hit & no tire on it. If you rotate the axle while it was up in the air it's very hard to turn and there is that thumping noise. BTW: they measure both of the Al's arms and they are NOT the same. I emailed him about it. Right now the shop is going to put my old arms back on. Then I can check out the problem with the arms. Also I will be able to have that axle checked out. What is going on with these 2 problems? |

there a vibration with it? or just the noise, floorboard etc? on a joke note, perhaps you should remove the dead cat that crawled up in there |

Hmmm, a dead cat, maybe! There isn't any vibration. The thumping isn't loud at all and I can't feel it either. Terry |

well they don't just thump for no reason doesn't increase with speed, deep... like how fast is this bumping ? like a double time maybe a little faster? i had a crew cab chevy truck that would put itself almost into 4wd that would do that when the speed/vibration/etc of the driveline components got fast enough, something or other would sit there and shake back and forth making a bumping noise, passenger could feel it in the floorboard, i couldn't try engaging the 4wd and then disengaging it again, wrangler reverse roll back style ya know maybe they bumped some linkage or something |

Seems like quite a few intermediate shaft have been dieing recently.... I don't know what the symptoms are when they go out/start to go out |

BOTH of my Al's arms hit the spring when on a lift. I also hear them touch the spring on hard bumps from time to time, its something I didnt have an issue with until I put the al's arms on. As for the thumping, I have that too, I thought it was a wheel bearing at first, and replaced one, it seemed to go away but came back again. Ive been trying to track it down, with no luck. I havent pulled the front driveshaft yet but its next on the list. |

I'm curious about this thread. I've developed a very faint rattle sound over the last month. It's barely noticable, but I've heard it a few times. I'm thinking it's drivetrain related because I couldn't hear it with it in park, even while revving the engine. This may give me something to look at. |

Take it out and beat on it for a little while. that seems to cure most of my problems. It either loosens up or breaks. I call it STUMPJUMPER Diagnostics |

Dude...... the arms are not supposed to be the same length? That's jacked-up. |

All I know is that they measured the 2 arms and said that they were not the same. I'll pick up the KJ Sunday and measure them myself. Terry |

What version of Arms do you have? I have the 3.5's and I notice that my driverside arm also hits my coils. |
