  • thumping from rear

    ive got a 97 sahara, 4 inch skyjacker lift that saggs, im sure the shocks were put on the same time as the lift, i get a thumping while driving over bumps, its not a rattle its a solid thump, i went under it today and tried shaking the driveshaft and sway bar because it seems a little loose in the back also, but they seemed solid, any ideas on where to start looking for?

    Check out the rubber at the ends of the shocks. With compression on it, it won't move by pushing with your hand. If it's shot, you should be able to see it visually.

    Also... Check out the rubber exhaust hangers in back. I believe you have one on each side of the pipe. If you lose one, it will hang too far to one side and potentially contact something.

      x2 on the shock bushings. If they're worn, you should replace them, but to stop the noise you can tighten the mount and it will 'squish' the bushing and your sound should go away.
