I found the noise it was a shot wheel bearing on the passenger side :wrench: good as new

Yeah my 89 MJ had the same noise and i replaced the TB gasket and it fixed the prob :wrench: Did the faulty gasket affect the idle at all? I don't think it effected the idle, it started make the sound and I realized it was the coming from the TB and I removed it and saw the was bad so I changed it. Do you cut your own gaskets or buy them new? I buy new ones, I got a felpro gasket for it

I have already done those steps but I didn't here the noise this is what has me stumped and yes it has new brake pads in front and the rotors are not new but they are still good. :dunno:

Any specific brands?

The fluid is low but and i have to add some but the sound is like a pad hitting a high stop on a rotor. but i will add fluid tomorrow to see if it goes away but I always thought that the power steering pump sounds like a whining sound when it runs low. :dunno:

No it only stops making the sound when the truck is stopped. it makes the sound louder when you turn also. the sound is a kind of griding sound not a squeal. :dunno: the pad are fairly new,could it be the wheel bearings

I don't Know I think i put standard duralast brake pads

I finally got my truck back on the road and it passed inspection so I have drove it about 50 miles yesterday and last night on my way home it started make a small little sound coming from the front axle that sounds like a brake pad dragging and it got louder and louder. the other thing is i can't tell if it is the right or left side. so today I looked at the rotors on both side and i could not see nothing out of the normal there was no rock or nothing. so I checked my wheel bearings and they where a little loose so i tightened them and drove the truck around the neighborhood and the noise is still there but it sound not as loud but the noise is still there. :fs1: :headpop: :mad: :fs2: :wall: I am tired of f'ing with it I just want to curse and go off road

I agree :cheers:

Awesome find man :drool:

Here is my before and after 4.5" lift pic's Before After

:mad: My rear proportioning valve also took a $#!& so I bought a wilwood adjustable proportioning valve to fix the problem It work really good and brake better than ever now with all new brake pads,shoes,proportioning valve,master cylinder, and brake booster :wrench:

I also finally took some pic's of my MJ after I put the 4.5" Rough country lift on it. Here is a side profile of my MJ it sucks it is a total 2" lower in the back than the front because of the old sagging leaf springs in the rear. But that is nothing that a 3" leaf pack's will not fix :banana:

Well here is more pic's of the master cylinder and brake booster upgrade

I went to my local junk yard to just look at the xj and mj but they where all pick to death. I'm looking for a donor xj because i want to do a 4wd conversion and change the interior also I look on craigslist but the xj are to expensive. i wish i could buy a wreaked one or something but a don't know what to do any ideas??? :popcorn:

my mj looks up to yours hahaha :cheers:

wish my jeep was painted :drool:
