Jeep Grand Cherokees are prone to having some coarse mechanical problems. The qoute that we cover today is with noisy differentials (rear ends). While it is standard for Jeep differentials to make some noise, it's not good to ignore noises that are more than moderate or if the noise is noticeably getting louder. Normally rear end whining noises from Jeeps are rated on a scale from 1-10, whatever under a 5 is standard and would not merit a repair. If a roaring noise is heard this is an additional one matter, roaring noises should be looked into right away. I've rebuilt hundreds of rear ends and out of those, almost 80% of them have been in Jeeps. Also the Jeeps I've worked on were not driven off road or abused in any way that I could see. They were in general driven as a quarterly house car would be, so this leads me to end that this is just a coarse qoute due to design.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Noises - Whining, Humming, Roaring

Roaring noises, are one of the most coarse sounds a Jeep Grand Cherokee makes from the rear end. As I mentioned before, if roaring noises are heard this should be addressed as soon as possible. Typically nearby 45 Mph is when sounds will start arrival from the rear end. If roaring is heard at all speeds or at parking lot speeds, the qoute has progressed. Roaring noises are from worn and pitted bearings. Carrier bearings (which are the side bearings) are the most coarse bearings to fail. Next are the pinion bearings, especially if a pinion seal has been supplanted at some point and the bearing preload was excessive. This means the pinion nut was tightened too much. Over-tightening the pinion nut can cause an inordinate load on the pinion bearings and can wear the bearings in a short duration of time. If the bearing change is postponed too long, metal can travel straight through the differential oil and damage other challenging parts in the differential. This can cause accelerated wear of the ring and pinion gears. So if they are caught early enough, the bearings can be supplanted without replacing the ring and pinion gears.

Ring and Pinion gears that are worn excessively make a whining or humming noise, sometimes on acceleration and sometimes on deceleration. And they are more expensive to replace than just the bearings. The ring and pinion gears can make a whining noise without a roaring noise being gift from the bearings. But when replacing the ring and pinion gears the other bearings, together with two pinion bearings and carrier bearings are recommended to be supplanted also. The axle bearings should be inspected but they are the farthest away from the differential gears and bearings, so they most likely will be Ok especially on lower mileage vehicles.

Car+Alternator+Repair

Used rear ends in my idea should be avoided for Jeeps. The hypothesize is because this is such a coarse problem, that the chances of getting a good one from a saving yard is slim.

Noises in the parking lot only could just be a minute slip clutch (posi-traction) noise. In this case try putting an additive designed for the clutches. Ask for minute slip friction modifier or posi additive. Driving the vehicle some will allow the modifier to soak into the clutches and hopefully preclude them from grabbing.
