My '96 XJ has started making a fairly loud clunking noise while in 4wd low going up steep climbs. If I go really slow, like less than 5 mph it doesn't really do it, or it does more quietly once in awhile, but if I have to give it some gas to get up the hill it happens a lot and louder. The cadence seems mostly intermittent in nature, as in not perfectly timed, but does happen much much more the faster I try to get up the hill. The Jeep runs and sounds fine in all other driving conditions. It sounds like if someone was underneath the Jeep whacking something on the front end with a rubber mallet. Anyone had a similar issue?
