Smooth Sailing with Abbotts Auto Care: Tackling the Metallic Rattle in Your Jeep Cherokee

Hello, fellow drivers! We've all been there – that jarring, metallic rattle in your Jeep Cherokee 2014 KL 3.2 V6 AWD's front suspension that can make your drive less than smooth. But fret not, Abbotts Auto Care is here to show you how regular servicing is the key to keeping your ride free from unexpected hiccups.

When Rattles Take Centre Stage

Picture yourself in your trusty Jeep Cherokee, and as you cruise along, there it is – a harsh metallic rattle coming from the front suspension. It's like an unwelcome guest on your drive, and it can make your journey less enjoyable. This is precisely the issue that one of our customers encountered, and it's a reminder of how regular servicing can make all the difference.

Getting to the Root of the Rattle

At Abbotts Auto Care, we're all about solving car mysteries. To address this metallic rattle, we put the vehicle on the hoist and got to work.

The first step was to remove the front wheels and inspect various components, such as the shock absorber rubbers, sway bar link bushes, and the lower control arms. What did we find? The inner bushes of the control arms were worn out, causing the suspension rattle.

Quieting the Rattle

To put an end to the metallic rattle in the front suspension, we replaced both lower control arms and ensured the front end had a proper wheel alignment. After a test drive, the result was clear – no more suspension rattle.
