I've got a 1987 Wagoneer Limited (Cherokee XJ with a trim pack) 4.0 6 cylinder. I bought it used about 3 years ago, and I've been repairing it a bit at a time. Lately, there's a noise that I'm having some trouble identifying. It's as if there's a sort of tumbling noise coming from under the center of the driving compartment. I'm sort of a self-taught tinkerer, so I'm not really sure what to call it exactly.
I know that something isn't quite right under there. When I pull up and stop at a light, then start moving again, I can tell that there's a slight movement between some parts somewhere as if the motion of the car is pushing/pulling these parts slightly apart.
It's sort of a mild tumbling noise, like you've got a shoe in a dryer full of towels. I seldom notice it when I'm in motion, usually noticing it mostly when slowing down to stop and taking off.
Any ideas on what that might be?
