That does not sound good

This has been playing on loop in my head for years.

I just found this video of when I got my first 4WD (an XJ that came lifted with 32” A/Ts) and the very first time I took it off pavement.

Let’s play guess that sound

A ball joint that's about to self delete. LOL
A tie rod end would be a "lighter" sound. Less steel.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Good guess, but it’s a little higher up

Cv joint.

Cv joint.

Very interesting guess! But that is not it. And thank God it wasn’t that lol

Right shock tower. Bolts loose?

We have a winner!

That is the sound of the shock tower relocating from the wheel well and into the engine bay.

This is a quick way to give your jeep that #stancelyfe look

My old Infinity G20 + half-a s s e d mechanic = that sound hitting a particularly obtuse bridge expansion joint.

Never forget that sound, just like I never forget the death wobble experience after lifting my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee with IRO springs, Pro Comp 9000 series shocks, Moog anti sway bar connectors, and Crown spring perch insulators. After that a s s pucker factor event, I put in a brand new drag link and full tie rod.. fixed it.

I feel like I was there lol
Some of us know that pucker factor feeling

Also I think a thread of “name that sound” would be a nice addition to the forums here. Anyone can feel free to share a clip of something on their rig breaking/ failing to keep the game going

That'd be cool. Everything from shock towers to bad lifters, CV joints, manifold leaks or various forms of wildlife encountered by members
