#56 of 105 Re: 1998 jimmy sle buzzing noise [pinfish] by gmcbob May 12, 2007 (8:37 am)
Replying to: pinfish (Apr 14, 2007 7:49 pm) so weird - I've started noticing a buzzing noise coming from my 98 Jimmy as well in the last few weeks. I'm not sure if its the tires I put on a few months back and I've just started noticing it, or if it's the brakes hanging up or what. But very annoying indeed. Sounds like it's associated with the wheels or tires or something, because it only happens when the vehicle is rolling.

Replying to: gmcbob (May 12, 2007 8:37 am) Gotta get a better description as no buzzing from the drive train- grating, grinding, clicking etc. Buzzing is all electrical or PCV related. Replies to this message: gmcbob (May 12, 2007 3:55 pm)

Replying to: repairdog (May 12, 2007 9:36 am) Turns out the noise was the front wheel hubs. Both of them were completely shot. The parts and labor were $966. But at least its quiet now.

#60 of 105 rattiling clunking noise from front drive train by mwright3 Jul 23, 2007 (9:41 am)
I have a 2001 GMC jimmy. I have changes the shocks, Hubs and back brakes since owning the truck for a bout a year. I was off roading and put the truck in 4x4 and I heard a loud snapping type noise and later a high squealing noise near front tires. Now when I start to accelerate a rattling clunking noise is heard near the front (middle) of truck. It goes away sometimes but can be heard when driving lower speeds durning acceleration. I went under the truck and turned the drive train. It seems to make a low rattling noise at the end closer to the back where the U Joints are not. Any ideas if this is a u joint or a new drive train will be required? My truck also makes a squealing typ noise when the wheels start to spin but I think that is my wheel bearings and nothing to do with the other problem. Please help
#61 of 105 1994 GMC Jimmy "clunks" when turning by osusieq1 Jul 26, 2007 (4:05 am)
Let me start by saying my mechanic is a family friend. Sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes not. In this case, I'm not sure. My antilock brake light came on, and he replaced the front hubs as the wires were worn. Light went off, all was well. However, driving it home, when I did a hard turn (left or right), I hear and feel through the floor a clunking sounding like it was coming from the front right. I went back and he said it was the CV. Replaced that as well. Guess what? Still clunks. He super greased the upper and lower ball joints, clunk clunck. Now he's telling me its the control arm/control arm bushings making the noise. Does this sound right?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: mwright3 (Jul 26, 2007 8:24 pm)

Replying to: osusieq1 (Jul 26, 2007 4:05 am) I am not sure with the 94 jimmy but with my 2001 you cant grease the ball joints. Mine are a sealed unit that are suppose to last for a long time. So if yours are the same I dont think your friend trying to grease them will help. I am told that It has to be changed. Also when we changed our hubs it wasn't a clunking noise but a howling noise. I went under our truck and turned the front drive train by hand and I heard the clunking noise9 not as loud but it was there. Someone said check the u joints that they can make the clunking noise. But when I turn the drive train the noise comes from the opposite and. Any thought I would tell you incase it helps you. My mechanic to is a family friend

#64 of 105 98 Jimmy rattles when accelerating by ldtd Jun 15, 2007 (2:31 am)
My 98 4WD Jimmy which just turned 200k is developing a rattle only when I accelerate. It doesnt rattle every time I press on the gas - and sometimes when it does rattle releasing the pedal and pressing on it a couple times makes the rattle disappear. The rattle sounds like it's coming from under the middle of the vehichle (but I can't be certain). It doesnt rattle when I go over bumps, but when I reverse I get a rear end clunk (typically only once during the reverse). Not certain these things are related. During last oil change a mechanic told me my rear differential was starting to go - but I could probably continue driving on it for now. Are these noises related to that or seperate? Thanks!

The rattle noise could be your catalytic converter. Have someone press the gas while in park and look under vehicle and see where the noise is coming from. If the rattle is coming from inside the cat, then have it replaced. The clunk noise is probably a u-joint going bad.
