I have my 00 TJ 4.0 and its ususally a from a stop and i give it like 1/4 throttle or higher you will here a few knocks and then it will stop.. Sometimes and I do stress sometimes if I make a small jerk on the steering wheel a will here a quick knock too... btw its a automatic too so I have no clue.. maybe a U joint going bad?? or somethings loose? dunno

If it's a u-joint you'll hear a loud noise when first put into gear...particularly reverse...happened on my Grand Cherokee with an automatic...[addsig]

o, by the way...if you hear it in your steering...check your suspension too, it might be due to initial torque load on the suspension...but chances are it won't be easy to find if it's only little suspension play[addsig]

Check the transmission mount and the torque mount on the transfer case. Also check your motor mounts for wear. Make sure the transfer case linkage is tight.[addsig]

I'd say check and change your universials...my g/cherokee has no more probs since...good luck!
