#26 of 75 Rear end noise. by bgbstrd Apr 05, 2006 (4:55 pm)
To anyone out there with Jeep Liberty's with a rear end noise that the dealer has a hard time duplicating: there is a joint, kind of like a ball joint, on top of the rear diff. This thing makes noises at times and the noises can be extremely difficult to duplicate. If the tech cannot duplicate the noise ask to drive them around so you can dulplicate it. Most dealership technicians would rather take a few minutes and go for a ride than have a pissed customer bad mouthing his work.   While you're at the dealer, trade in your KJ on something, anything, else. Between Liberty balljoints, power steering racks, leaks, and noises they are a vehicle I would never put someone I care about in.

This just in..another 800,000 Libertys recalled due to a potential failure in the front balljoint. Nice..... Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 01, 2006 6:03 pm) ladybug8 (Aug 02, 2006 4:08 am) ree691 (Aug 02, 2006 8:08 pm)

Replying to: tacojeff (Aug 01, 2006 2:55 pm) Recalls happen. Not too encouraging that the ball joints were recalled once before for the '02-'03 models though. Here's a story about it.   Jeep Recalls 2002-2006 Liberty SUV (Washington Post) Replies to this message: ladybug8 (Aug 02, 2006 4:08 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 01, 2006 6:03 pm) If you call Jeep and give them the last 8 digits of your VIn they can tell you if you are included in the recall. The number is 800-853-1403.

Replying to: tacojeff (Aug 01, 2006 2:55 pm) I have a 2004 Liberty with 50k and just had new tires put on. Took it in for a front end alignment and found out the balljoints were shot.
#32 of 75 Rear end noise by rvangorp Aug 10, 2006 (12:11 pm)
My 2003 Liberty recently started having a noise like running over a rumble strip when I start into a turn from a standing stop. I can get a similar noise if turn the steering wheel left or right to the stop and drive slowly in a circle on a hard surface. I have the limited slip differential. I've got an appointment with the Jeep service department next but I wanted to know what you all thought. I have 68,000 miles on it and the drive train warranty runs out soon.

Replying to: rvangorp (Aug 10, 2006 12:11 pm) Just bought my daughter a 2002 liberty. It has the same noise. Jeep dealer in branson thought without looking it may be the clutches in rear end as they are limited slip. clutches could be from $400 to $900. Mine sounds like a metal grinding sound also when turning left or right slowly like turning into a drive way under light load. I was a auto tech for 32 years but never heard anything quite like this. Mine has 67000 miles. Didn't know how much warranty is on the jeeps but mine has probably expired due to year. Jerry Sutton Replies to this message: rvangorp (Aug 24, 2006 11:49 am)

Replying to: cm1js (Aug 23, 2006 9:53 am) Jerry, the dealer changed the lube in the rear end and put in the required friction modifier additive. The chattering noise I heard was eliminated. I wouldn't have described it like metal grinding as you do. My warranty is a 7/70 on the drive train but I think it was unique to the 2003. The lube change wasn't covered on the warranty. I would get into a dealer before the 70K mark just in case it does have the 7/70 coverage.   Richard
#35 of 75 lower ball joints recalled once again by jeeplgirl Sep 16, 2006 (12:44 pm)
This is just wonderful. I just reveived my second recall on my 2002 jeep liberty lower ball joints. Judging by what i have read in this forum im guessing these are just as good as the first recalled set i got and i do mean that sarcastically.
