UPDATE - So everyone knows, I finally broke down and paid the dealership for analysis. (I spent $1400 thinking I was fixing the issue, only to spend $150 to have someone tell me it was none of the above, dont make this mistake). It was the rear engine mount, located on the cross beam that supports the back of the engine. $70 part and about 4 hours of labor. I am a sucker, but the Jeep now has basically a new front end.
@@wooster0015 yes, also make sure that your calipers are fully bolted on, my passenger caliper was loose which contributed to the noise isolation issues. It was make small banging noises randomly
Damn man i feel like a fool.changed springs shocks rack and pinion inner outter tie rods lower and upper control arms sway bar links and i still have the same clunking noise!pissing me off lol now to check motor mount thanks for the pain and details on the update.

Its the strut mounts. You gotta get the mounts from the dealer. If you can move the hold down clamps for your struts under the hood then its the mounts
I had the same thing and I replaced everything (struts, cv axle, inner and outer tie rods, control arms, sway bar end links). The problem was the sway bar got super rusted where the sway bar bushings clamp on it that it got super thin there, leaving room for a lot of play. Replace the sway bar or wedge in metal to close up the space.
I did both struts,bushing and sway bar on mine as well these jeeps definitely aren't like the old ones that could take anything and keep on rollin. I didn't have that noise mine was bad on bumps. Maybe you have a golf ball in glove box lol. Good luck👍
“It’s a Jeep” you must not hear the noise. It sounds like the front passenger side is going to fall off. Pep boys doesn’t know, I don’t know, master mechanic friend doesn’t know. I’ve done a ton of work as listed. Last stop is the damn dealership.
That’s crazy!!! My patriot makes that noise constantly if I’m hearing this correctly without headphones but it’s like a dirt bike noise when going 60 mph
A little old, but may also be the motor mount. Mine sounded almost exactly like this, and I wasted a lot of time and money fixing the sway bar and struts before getting a new motor mount, all the noises went away after that part was replaced
So, we finally took it to the dealership and they did say it was the motor mount. Lower back motor mount near the transmission? Did you do this one? If so, what procedure did you follow and what part did you buy?
Unfortunately, still dont know. I removed the driver side sway bar link which was damanged and old. The noise changed. So my next step is to replace the driver side sway bar link. No mechanic so far has had the right solution, I have wasted a lot of money.
I changed all of that along with UCAs and still have a knock on the driver side when I go over bumps.. It has to be the only part that hasn't been changed yet..the LCAs 😢
There are similar videos on this. My 2014 is similar but not that bad. Upper control arm bushings worn. On my Jeep though I jacked up and turned it makes a knock noise and I have to now replace rack and pinion... there's 140k on it tho and dirt roads don't help any of that
Same for me on 2010 Ford Ranger! Before all that work the noise was random sporadic, after all the work I note today only on hard turn while in 4wd. You figure it out? Help me!
Lolol it was literally the caliper bracket being loose. After all the work that was done, the passenger side caliper bracket bolt was not seating properly due to some bad threads. $2500 down the drain, but atleast invested in better suspension.
@@seanbanez Holy smokes. Sorry to hear that. I will now always think of this moment when looking for rattles, while I check the brackets first! Thanks for the lesson, lol.
Just so everyone knows lol…. This turned out to be the dumbest thing ever… the passenger side caliper was a little loose from the nuckle. A couple thousand dollars and all it was.. was a bolt needing to be tightened.
@@dcogent1 yea that was the dealership telling me lies. The lower mount was just fine when I went to check it. I was all excited too. Finally did a brake job on the jeep and realized the caliper was loose, tightened it and the noise has been gone since.
@@seanbanez Thanks for the reply ... Replaced my sway bar links and the noise stopped. Jeep was running superb. Went to get an oil change about a week later and immediately upon leaving it stalled and I got the TCM red lightning bolt of death plus code P2073...smdh... Currently trying to figure out what the heck they did at the oil changers to make that pop up 🫤. Thanks for the reply Peace
@@seanbanezhas this noise came back after getting the brake calipers tightened? Just seems like you would have felt that or heard something more while braking
I just had new struts put on my 15 grand Cherokee because 1 was leaking and now i have the same noise. Had it back to the tire shop 3 times and they can't figure it out. I'm going to pull the wheels and check everything over and put an impact gun on the main nut on the strut under the hood and see if it will torque down more and if that don't work the next stop is the dealer..smh
Dude double check that your calipers are snug to the knuckle too. That was another issue I had with this dumb thing and it kept making clunky noises that were part of this
might have to check that out on my crown Victoria smh looking for this damn clunking noise is a bitch changed the lower control arms on both side for the hell of it since I changed one side did the sway bar links both side new sway bar bushings now to do upper control arms and inner and outer tie rod ends if that doesn't work then I'ma be mad 😡😂😂
Upper control arm bushings, I chased a noise like that for over a year

Same.. changed everything except struts. About to get the mounts checked. Was the noise worse for you when turning ?
@@jmh394yup for me it's driving me nuts
Thanks for letting me know the real deal 🤝
Did them fixing the motor mounts solve the issue? I’m having the same noise
@@wooster0015 yes, also make sure that your calipers are fully bolted on, my passenger caliper was loose which contributed to the noise isolation issues. It was make small banging noises randomly

Me tooooo! 2010 Ford ranger
Found my issue caliper bolts were dried out and had to regrease and tighten them back down.good luck my friend.

Check your upper and lower control arm bushings common issue
That’s crazy!!! My patriot makes that noise constantly if I’m hearing this correctly without headphones but it’s like a dirt bike noise when going 60 mph
It was the rear wheel bearings update!! 🤦♀️
Sway bar frame bushings are always over looked, can sometimes fix the clunking. Less than a 20 dollar fix
My friend take a day to tighten all bolts under car 😉

Did you ever figure this out I’ve been looking for the same
Lower and upper control arms, have u fixed it
@@ayee5846 probably ran out of money but yea i would say control arms
I changed all of that along with UCAs and still have a knock on the driver side when I go over bumps.. It has to be the only part that hasn't been changed yet..the LCAs 😢
It is your front shock retainer clip replace with billet aluminum try MFC offroad that's what I used worked great
I have the same noise in a 2022 Grand Cherokee, I went to the dealership and they change both sway bar links but im still hearing it…
Upper control area check them the bushing need change
There are similar videos on this. My 2014 is similar but not that bad. Upper control arm bushings worn.
On my Jeep though I jacked up and turned it makes a knock noise and I have to now replace rack and pinion... there's 140k on it tho and dirt roads don't help any of that
Bushing. Change use polyurethane. In my country indonesia, the polyurethane is lifetime warranty
Strut clamps from mfc. At least thats what they say, worth checking out after everything you’ve already done
i did all those things too finally gave up and took it to a shop it was the rack and pinion
Does it have to wind up first , before taking off ?
rocker arms need to be replaced?!?!
Same for me on 2010 Ford Ranger! Before all that work the noise was random sporadic, after all the work I note today only on hard turn while in 4wd. You figure it out? Help me!
Mine ended up being the upper control arm bushings
Control arm bushings! Do both sides!
It’s a pop it….
Kids must’ve left one in there somewhere 😫😂
Engine mounts tested? Has this been fixed yet?
Support bracket from trans to engine has loose bolt?
Lolol it was literally the caliper bracket being loose. After all the work that was done, the passenger side caliper bracket bolt was not seating properly due to some bad threads. $2500 down the drain, but atleast invested in better suspension.
@@seanbanez Holy smokes. Sorry to hear that. I will now always think of this moment when looking for rattles, while I check the brackets first! Thanks for the lesson, lol.
Have you checked the CV?
Hey man - it turned out to be the silliest thing.. the caliper was not 100% tight. Issue gone now.
$1200 for belle tire to replace struts, ball joint
Just so everyone knows lol…. This turned out to be the dumbest thing ever… the passenger side caliper was a little loose from the nuckle.
A couple thousand dollars and all it was.. was a bolt needing to be tightened.
What was that about the lower mount in your previous update? Currently diagnosing same rattling noise.
