So.
2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ Sport 4x4.
So I got a jeep and pretty much immediately:-
Replaced front discs/bearings/brakes
Replaced rear drums/shoes/springs
Replaced U-joints and greased slip yoke.
There is a clunking coming from the rear I don't know if it pre-existed as the Jeep was a mess when I got it. The clunk is in time with the rotation of the wheel. Very slow speeds you cannot hear it, but slightly faster 10+mph it'll appear. Holding both the accelerator and brake you can hear the clunk rhythmically with the turning of the wheel (you can also feel this clunk). While driving it gets noticeably worse when the car is warm.
I have read a bunch about similar issues but I've also read a bunch of threads that simmer out without resolution. I'm determined to figure this out and post the solution.
sooooooo....
1.) My first thought is that it is due to the A1-auto bought drums being too big. Does anyone have any experience of this? there is some movement between the drum and the bolts - but it's minimal (2mm or so?)
2.) The (dana 30) rear axle rocks in and out, again about 2-3 mm. The sound it produces is very similar to the sound of the clunk. I know it has some movement but I don't know how much is too much. Do the c-clips need replacing?
3.) Maybe it's the break shoes rubbing? in on photo you can see how the outer edge of the drum is being proved by something? -
