Summary:
- The Jeep Cherokee offers car-like driving with power and torque that is comparable to pickup trucks.
- Parts like the Jeep Cherokee driveshaft can be put under so much strain that it can eventually fail.
- When a Jeep Cherokee driveshaft starts to fail, it can cause excessive vibrations, difficulty in turning the vehicle, and loud clunking and squeaking noises.
- An aftermarket Jeep Cherokee driveshaft has a price range of $140 up to $470.
The evolution of the Jeep Cherokee from being a full-size SUV to compact and finally to crossover has been well-received by the American market. Regardless of its size, the Cherokee has been consistent in providing a car-like driving experience but with the power and off-road capabilities that are almost on par with pickup trucks. Since it is capable of generating a lot of horsepower and torque, it’s only natural that Cherokee parts would be put under a lot of strain that could potentially wear them out faster. One of these components is the Jeep Cherokee driveshaft.
Signs of a failing Jeep Cherokee driveshaft
Driving a vehicle, especially one that is loaded with horsepower and torque such as the Cherokee, can be a fun and enjoyable experience. But it can also be the opposite if you have a bad driveshaft. Since it plays a crucial role in transferring power from the engine to the vehicle’s wheels, the driveshaft can lead to other car problems when it’s faulty. If you want to know when it’s time to replace it, here are some common signs to watch out for:
Excessive vibrations
The first sign that you have a failing driveshaft in your Jeep Cherokee is the excessive vibrations that you experience when you are driving. You may notice that it mostly comes from underneath the vehicle. It can be caused by a worn-out driveshaft or components such as the u-joints, carrier bearings, couplers, and bushings. To make sure that this won’t result in the damage of your other drivetrain parts, an immediate replacement to your driveshaft is recommended.
Clunking noise
The vehicle produces noise when it runs. But if you start hearing a loud clunking noise that you don’t normally hear, it could mean that you have a busted driveshaft. It’s a sign that you need to have it fixed or changed.
Squeaking noise at low speeds
Mechanical parts in your vehicle need lubrication in order to operate smoothly. If your driveshaft and its components are not properly lubricated, they can produce a squeaking noise when driving at low speeds. Check the driveshaft and the u-join. If these parts are not yet worn out, greasing them will fix the problem. Otherwise, a replacement is necessary.
Difficulty turning the vehicle
Once you have observed that it’s becoming more and more difficult to turn your vehicle where it needs to go, the culprit may be the driveshaft. The wheels may feel sluggish and resistant. The only way to restore your vehicle’s excellent control and handling is by changing the failing part.
How much does a Jeep Cherokee drive shaft replacement cost?
The price of an aftermarket Jeep Cherokee driveshaft usually starts at $140 and could reach $470. It can still change depending on several factors such as your vehicle’s year, make, and model, the part’s brand, and whether you are getting a Jeep Cherokee front drive shaft or rear drive shaft. Most aftermarket driveshafts come with a brand warranty, so make sure to purchase a replacement part that has one to further protect yourself.
