1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Suspension Rattle?

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 127,000. Inline 6.

This Jeep be bought 3 weeks ago used. Driving around my neighborhood I hear assorted rattles from the undercarriage around the backside axle and under the subsidise seat. I hear little on extraordinarily flat roads at higher speeds (above 35mph). The exhaust system seem very tight and not wobbly. Could the flipside shocks be so bad they're cause this rattle? What else could it be?

Answers:    There are plentiful bushes in the flipside suspension which can cause the rattles/symptoms you describe.

If the backside shocks are weak, they will not clang. You will have a 'spongy' ride and the reverse end would fly around on rough surfaces.

I suggest you check the bushes and the mountings on the rear trailing arms, which can create a severe clatter. If these look firm and the rubbers are fine (no play) then check the mountings for the shock absorbers. While you are at it, you may do economically to check the mountings/bushes on the stabiliser rod.

Ok this interview is singular for classic...
