Inspection and Verification


CAUTION: Only serviceable items can be renewed or adjusted. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the warranty
of the component being rejected.

Certain driveline trouble symptoms are also common to the engine, transmission, wheel bearings, tires, and other parts of the
vehicle. For this reason, make sure that the cause of the trouble is in the driveline before adjusting, repairing, or installing any
new components. For additional information, refer to Workshop Manual section 100-04 Noise, Vibration and Harshness.
1. Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test of the vehicle.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage and system integrity.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

Identify the Condition

Gear Howl and Whine

Howling or whining of the ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or incorrect bearing preload.

Bearing Whine

Bearing whine is a high-pitched sound similar to a whistle. It is usually caused by worn/damaged pinion bearings, which are
operating at driveshaft speed. Bearing noise occurs at all driving speeds. This distinguishes it from gear whine which is speed
dependent.



As noted, pinion bearings make a high-pitched, whistling noise, usually at all speeds. If however there is only one pinion
bearing that is worn/damaged, the noise may vary in different driving phases.
A wheel bearing noise can be mistaken for a pinion bearing noise.

Chuckle

Chuckle that occurs on the coast driving phase is usually caused by excessive clearance between the differential gear hub and
the differential case bore. www.JagDocs.com

Clunk

Clunk is a metallic noise heard when the automatic transmission is engaged in REVERSE or DRIVE. The noise may also occur
when the throttle is applied or released. Clunk is caused by transmission calibration, backlash in the driveline or loose
suspension components and is felt or heard in the vicinity of the rear drive axle.

Bearing Rumble

Bearing rumble sounds like marbles being tumbled. This condition is usually caused by a worn/damaged wheel bearing. The
lower pitch is because the wheel bearing turns at only about one-third of the driveshaft speed. Wheel bearing noise also may
be high-pitched, similar to gear noise, but will be evident in all four driving modes.

Driveshaft System Operation

The two-piece driveshaft, manufactured from lightweight tubular steel, transmits drive from the engine, via the transmission,
to the differential. The driveshaft aligns with the centerline of the vehicle’s body and is supported by a center bearing.

The driveshaft's front tube is of swaged construction, which is a crash energy management feature, designed to collapse
progressively and predictably in the event of a severe frontal impact. A low-friction splined slip-joint at the center of the
driveshaft provide the driveshaft's plunge capability.

Flexible couplings connecting the driveshaft to both the transmission and the differential counteract the angular movement of
the driveshaft caused by the driveline's acceleration and braking forces.

The center universal joint is positioned at a specified angle using shims between the center bearing and the vehicle's body.
The driveline angles have been carefully configured to balance minimum power losses with excellent vibration and wear
characteristics. The universal joint is lubricated during manufacture and sealed for life.
