Ok, here is the sitch, I went out yesterday to continue to break in the Frankenlift.....had tons of fun. While I was climbing a slippery gravel & sand rock pile, Bullet did this little shuttering thing. Of couse, I backed off right away...not knowing for sure what it was. My best friends TJ did the same thing, so I assumed it was pretty normal, but didn't push it. What was that? Secondly, the front end (I think) made some interesting noises, I was thinking sway bar at first. But when I got Bullet home, they seemed fine. Any ideas? Lastly, I had my TJ buddy stand in Bullets door and jump up and down to see if I could hear anything, and I am getting a squeaking noise, sound kind of like a blown shock, but comes from somewhere else (I hope!) My shocks are brand new obviously. Any ideas on what to start looking for would be great.... I really want to get back out there and conquer the gravel mountain! |

The shudder is probably your wheels spinning. The clunking noise that your front end is making is more than likely the upper a arm coming into contact with the spring. If you have the OME HD 927 front springs it may go away once they're broken in. Mine took 3000 miles and a couple of wheeling trips (one good bashing at Uwharrie) to settle, but I'd already replaced the a arms with Al's by that point anyhoo. |
