Engine noise after suspension lift?

(1/2) > >>

mgilbert:
Hello - Just had 2" suspension lift (budget boost) to 04 Grand Cherokee. After fitting, I'm getting a rubbing kind of noise coming from front. The noise creeps in from about 20mph and gradually gets louder as road speed increases. At 70mph it's VERY loud.

Tracking and wheel alignment all check out ok. No death wobble or vibration either. The noise "does" disappear (regardless of speed) if I ease off on the throttle.

After endless web checking I need everything from a greased control arm through to a new front prop shaft. It must be something stupid.

Anyone else had a similar experience? Jeep has only done 27k miles so wearing of joints unlikely?

Thanks!

skip:
Sounds like the lift has put more strain on the front pinion bearing which could be worn, but that's only a wild guess on my part.

 it's very tricky to even try to diagnose a fault like this, i've given up trying to find the cause of the vibes on my xj.

Have you tried sites like
NAGCA
Rocznruts
or possibly had a chat with FTE or MDG off road here in the UK who have both I think lifted Jeeps
