Hi all,

The trooper is making a strange noise only on right hand turns.
It almost sounds like a sticking caliper. Anyone have an idea on this one.
Bad wheel bearings?

I have the same prob. I don't know what it is. I've taken everything apart and regreased the bearings. Didn't seem to help at all.

!!! same situation (99 trooper)

A bad CV joint will make noise while turning in in one direction but not the other. Take a look at your boots. If they are cracked and the grease leaked out that is a strong possibility.

 

[spinixguy]

nah, the boots are fine.

This is only in 4 wheel drive if I am not mistaken. My sound is constant.

is your sound only in 4wd? or does it make noise in 4wd and 2wd?

manual or auto hubs? (are the hubs off when you're in 2wd?)

 

[spinixguy]

mine is in 2hi . I have not tried it in 4hi or 4lo.
I have auto hubs.

Is the sound coming from the front end?

 

[Hack]

The front axles can turn in 2 ways; from differential or from the wheels turning. On a truck in 4WD and the manuals disengaged the front axels will rotate when the drivesaft turns although no force will be applied to the front wheels. (This is sometimes used to get 2WD Low.) If I am not mistaken, the front axles on a late model Trooper with TOD like Krill's '99 turn whenever the truck moves due to the rotation of the wheels, unless they have changed over to manual hubs. The same thing would happen on the older Troopers if the manuals were left locked or the autohubs did not disengage.

You could turn each front wheel with the truck jacked up to find out if the wheels are actually disengaged.

 

[langforg]

noise is constant 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, hubs locked or unlocked

 

[Kirill]

noise is constant 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, hubs locked or unlocked

for me - 2 H drive, not TOD (Shift by the fly system), on right turns only

how i resolve the problem:
-replace front brake pads;
-replace power steering fluid
