Well i just finished my header install this weekend and have a new 2.25 in exhaust with a flowmaster super 40 muffler.
So as it goes with my jeep I am on to the next problem.
I first noticed whatever is goen on about a week ago while driving in the snow in four wheel drive. under hard breaking there is a grinding noise accompanied by a vibe.
At first i figgured that it was just the tires sliding and then grabbing again becase pavement was still visible in some spots. However This weekend the roads were completely clear and i was taking the jeep out to test the new header and exhaust.
I got up to about 40 and then hit the breaks hard (all in 2 wheel drive by the way) . Once the nose of the car started to dip the Vibe and grinding noise kicked in. When I let off of the breaks it stopped. Under normal and even medium breaking conditions there is no grinding noise or vibe. Rather it seems to be only under breaking hard enough to dip the nose.
I cant tell if it is located in the front or rear of the car. I checked the drive shafts for excessive play but there was none at all. Everything seems to be in order up in the front suspension, so my guess would be towards something with the breaks or axle. I havent looked at the shoes in a long time and am not sure what shpae they are in but i will do that this weeknd.
Any Ideas what is going on??
