I have a 97 Xj completely stock. When I accelerate from a stop I hear a pop noise under the console. Sometime when backing out my drive I also hear this noise. When running down the road it never makes a sound. I'm planning a long trip and wondering if something is about to break. I've crawled under and can't find anything loose. Occasionally when accelerationg up an incline I will hear the pop sound. It's not loud just annoying enough to make me wonder what is about to break.
I took it to a mechanic friend and he can find nothing wrong but the pop continues. I have a pop free 96 so I know this is not a normal sound. Any ideas. I did search and didn't find anything that was helpful.
The drivetrain has about 125,000 miles on it..Just a guess as I have a new engine and cluster which shows 27,000. (had 10,500 when installed)
