Front end noise & power steering problems in my 2000 Grand Cherokee Limited

okay Stephen, I'd suggest the motor mounts or transmission mounts have lost it and are cracked and allowing the motor to move about...inspect them by placing a jack and woodblock under the oil pan...note any separation...see if it can pull the rest of the car up or simply separate~ you haven't said what year or I'd be shoppin' for ya~

the axis of the steering with respect to the mounts causes chafing at the link~

odds are the steering gear is bad. If it turns easy to the rt, but hard to the left, its not the pump, as the pump doesnt care what direction you turn. it just supplies pressure. the switch valve IN the gear is the problem.

have you had the axles serviced? when changing fluid, use friction modifyer and synthetic75/90 fluid in the front. the transfercase uses special 247 fluid, rear diff, 75/140 and bottle of friction modifyer. Then do figure 8's to work the new fluid into the clutches. some times it takes a while. Go find large parking lot and do figure 8s till noise goes away....hope this helps....

I have a 2000 Grand Cherokee that has had front brakes and hubs replaced this year.... she is now squeaking really bad with a grindig noise once in awhile aling with a thump thump in my steering wheel at 80kms... and turning right she ticks... I think it may be U joint but Im not sure any ideas???
