Excellent reading! And, since the new bearing did NOT solve the problem (I celebrated too soon) I'll be taking it apart again and referring to this thread. THANKS! Tdoggs

My pleasure! I love this site. Now, to figure out how to remove the pulley and replace the bearing.....

Solved! I started it without the belt and the noise was gone. The crunchy compressor pulley is the culprit. Thanks for the suggestions! They worked as usual! Tdoggs

Ok, got the belt off an spun all pulleys. I may have found it. Can the Jeep be run without the belt on to confirm? https://youtu.be/Z_lN96lEg6s

Thanks guys, I did indeed change the alternator recently. I’ll be removing the belt later and spinning the pulleys.

I know I have a squeaky pulley but there is a strange, sort of grinding noise I do not like........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRCaQpftnpg

No sir. When it happened, my daughter was driving it and I was not there. I told her to shut it off and re-start it and it was fine. I'm guessing it was heat soak as well.

Hello! The Cherokee is running well, no wobble and got the AC up to full freeze! Here's something that has happened occasionally since I bought it. When it's started when hot, it idles rough as heck and sometimes dies. When it's re-started, it runs smooth as silk. Any ideas what...

Thanks fellas! Out to the garage I go!

I want to remove the 4wd drive shaft and drive the Jeep to see if that's what's causing the "rumble" I feel on the highway (it goes away when I engage the 4wd) Is it safe to do so?

Agreed! And I’m probably already 3/4 of the way there!

I figure I might as well reset everything in the front end. I do have a question though. In slow sweeping turns. To the right at highway speeds, I can feel the old wobble trying to start. As soon as I straighten out, it stops. Since the ball joints were only replaced on one side, could hat be...

Everything is stock. Michelin Tires. The u joints are not "fresh" but, I couldn't tell you how old they are. I have a rumble/vibration at 75mph that lessens when I engage the 4WD as well.
