It's a 1998 Jeep Cherokee, I6/4.0L, AX-15 Manual Transmission, Dana front, Chry 8.25 rear, 50,000 miles.
When I drive it hard-- which can mean running through the gears pretty rough, and come to a complete stop pretty abruptly right after doing it, I get a noise coming from the front end.
It feels on the gas peddle, floorboard, etc. like I'm running over little sticks. It makes kind of a slapping noise. Now it only does this with NO brake applied. If I apply the brakes, it squeels and will stop doing the slapping.
It doesn't do this all the time, and I've counted out the 4wd system by playing with it when it happens. I believe it's happening on the passenger side, but the mechanic who rode with me when I made it happen thought it was coming more from the middle. The passenger side rotor has heat spots and only has ~3500 on it.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts and we have Rausch coming up and I'm going to be doing a lot of highway driving and it's really annoying and embarassing when riding by people and it's slapping away.
