I have a thumping noise coming from the front of my jeep. It’s a steady "thumping noise that you here mostly between 35 to 60 mph. If you tap and hold just a little pressure on the brakes and maintain speed the thumping goes away. Braking is fine I just replaced the brakes a few months ago with new rotors and new pads. Could that be a sign of U-joints going bad? I got over 150K miles and I think they are the stock joints.
At first it seemed like it was coming from the right side but now seems even over the width of the front. I did change the ball-joints back a month or two ago and when pulled the axles forgot to check the fluid level of the diff, but when check today I did not need to put more than a cup or 1 1/2 cups of diff fluid in.
The thumping does not seam fast enough to be coming from a shaft or tire. It seems to stay fairly steady in the speed range mentioned above, but the gentle press of the brake makes me think that it’s not a motor sound. Thank for any Help or Insight!!
