amazing the squeaks and noises of mechanical working parts when there is no gas engine noise. mine has a pop when it first moves then goes away until you stop and move again. changed out everything on the front suspension but the strut . still does it. new tires, bearings, super saves bushings in a arms, pivot bearing, shocks, and tie rod ends. I've come to accept that some can b solved others just have to accept moving parts make noise.

One thing you might Che k is if it stops when you apply a little pressure to the brakes it is possibly the pads. So remedy this place a thin shim between the brake pads holes that are square. The brake pad holes are square and the rods they ride on are round. Common for them to rattle on the front. Go figure square on round

Would someone explain what is backlash. I've read that section also as I have a 2011 and 2014. I bet the front gearcase hasn't changed from different model years.

when you describe shaking the right drive shaft are u referring to the axle shaft w cv boots?

Front end pop

Occasionally I get that pop too when stationary, turning the wheel and accelerating forward. If you solve the mystery, let me know the source. Thanks.

Capnbo i was reading thru some old post and found this. I did find the cause i think. When i was preparing my 2011 for selling I noticed that 2 of the 3 screws on the bottom of the plate attached to the front bumper were loose. 1 was actually stripped. After tightening these and using a bolt and nut on the stripped one it stopped.
Now w the 2014 i have a have the front end clicking as described by many. Both front axles at the point where they enter the front gear case are very loose. I have tried tightening the set screw on the passenger side " A LITTLE " w no results.

I agree some rattles and squeaks are just annoying. How much did u move the screw. I marked mine and stopped at 1/2 of a 1/4 turn. Its better but not gone.

Glad that someone has tried that going more than 1/8" or ¼". I have been tinkering back and forth w mine, but not turning it more than a ¼" which made no changes. I was surprised also when mine turn effortlessly but mine is a 2014. I think i will try a full turn. Mine makes a clicking sound at high and low speed but more on smooth payment. doesn't matter if AWD or turf.

front end rattle

Thanks for the information. I will check the front end bumper plate to see if mine are loose. I know others have the same rattle and have opted to accept it. Time will tell if the adjustments I made will cause premature wear on the rings inside the differential, but when I run top end speed, I like not hearing the rattle!

Capnbo / Robyn have either of you had any issues after adjusting the backlash screw on the front gear case?

 

[boilermkr]

Okay thanks JRobyn

Ita hard to get a pic of it cause its behind the black plastic cover the axle and brake line run thru. its on the passenger side left side of the axle. Allen type head about 3/16-¼". I marked the top of the head w a sharpie so i could keep up with where it started turning. Go a little bit at a time.
