Hey guys, i am brand new to the jeep world as of 2 weeks ago. I just purchased a bone stock 2005 wrangler x 4.0l 6 speed manual with 50k miles and i am loving it so far minus this sound i am hearing.
So here is what i got going on. Upon initial test drive i never heard this sound, but after about a 15 - 20 minute drive home i heard this sound (which could be described as a pop/clunk/clicking sound, but it reminds me of a sound heard when something is binding). The sound is only heard at initial acceleration from a stop and is only heard for maybe 1-2 seconds. The sound also seems to occur more when i am turning left or right vs going straight. it sounds like it is coming from the center or rear of the vehicle to me and can sometimes be heard when backing up. it is very intermittent and can not seem to pin point where it is coming from. And by intermittent i mean it will happen after about 20 minutes of driving and then not reoccur all day.
I have already taken it back to the dealership i purchased it from hoping they would figure it out, but unfortunately they have not been able to duplicate the concern.
I am reaching out for your help to try to figure this out. I have searched under the vehicle and on the multiple different forums for hours on end trying to figure out something that may be causing this sound i am hearing, but i have no luck so far. Any and all help is much appreciated.
