Hello KL'rs.
2015 KL TH, V6, 2" MFC lift, 32" KO2's
I just finished the winch install on the Cherokee. And this morning I hear a quite audible rhythmic grinding sound coming from the rear.
The noise occurs from 5-20 mph only when I'm on the gas. It definitely sounds rotational. Does not occur while coasting.
Putting the Jeep in Sport mode does not eliminate the noise.
Above 20 mph there is no sound. The Jeep drives completely fine regardless of the noise.
I'm thinking driveshaft... It always had a small barely audible squeak/grind/noise that was audible when driving down alleys or tight streets. Thinking the rear tire carrier and the winch added enough weight to stress the wear even more.
I have an appointment with a shop nearby and I've got an aftermarket warranty with 5k miles left on it...lets see how much we can get covered
Thoughts?
