#352 of 353 Re: 1998 Cherokee Sport Popping when I turn [fletchman] by mfd72 Aug 26, 2009 (5:19 pm)
Replying to: fletchman (Aug 03, 2009 7:57 am) 1997 same noise- 277000 km just replaced all front u joints and wheel bearings- noise she be gone!!!!!! save some money and get the balljoints changed while they have it all torn apart its worth the extra 150 bucks. hope that helps- the popping noise comes from the bearing snagging on the spindle when you change the angle of the wheel by turning.

Had a radiator hose leak (upper) that spewed out antifreeze all over the engine. Replaced the hose no problem. Now have a combination of noises: 1) a sputtering that sounds like a pressure cooker that's random in speed and goes away after the engine is warmed up 2) a whine upon acceleration 3) a rattle at acceleration that progresses at gear shifts (automatic). I've had no loss or change in performance. I thought perhaps antifreeze had gotten into the oil, so I've changed the oil. I've added STP to a full tank of gas (put in high-octane gas). So far I've driven down about half a tank. The noises seem to be dissipating, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I can clearly pinpoint them beginning at the time of the hose leak. Anything I should be concerned about or more I should be doing? I feel like the noises are coming from the belt/pulley area right in front. Thanks for any insight.
