Title: '97 ZJ Noisy Rear Suspension
Post by: Brynjaminjones on April 16, 2016, 09:25:46 AM
Since getting rid of all of the rattles and knocks from the front end of Emily's ZJ, it's become much more noticeable that the rear suspension is quite noisy over bumps etc. to the point that it's much less comfortable to drive over bumps than it is in my XJ, in which I can fly over everything with no rattles.


I'm not very familiar with the rear suspension setup on a Jeep with coils - what should I be looking at to try to quieten the rear end down?

It's prob the centre bush/ bearing above the suspensions nd axle  that holds it all to the Uniboby that has decayed with age.

Cheers for that, but I thought that was the WJ set up? Don't ZJs have normal upper control arms like the front but facing the other way, or am I just clueless?

Mine was noisy and it was the track bar that was loose, nipped up the bolt it all was good.
