post icon My 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo Sign In

Hey There, I have 91' jeep cherokee and its in pretty good shape but does have some problems. I have some auestions and am wondering if you guys can either give me some tips or lead me in the right direction.. Here we go..

First off ill go with my brakes..

- When i stop i here a hissing noise and its really hard for me to stop the vehicle, I need to press really hard onto the pedal inorder for it to stop???

Next My Axle, or if it is?.........

- While im driving around 50-65 Mph, I here a deep humming noise in the back and if im going around a bend and have to turn the wheel right, the humming gets worse, but anyother driving under those speeds i dont here it???

Finally My engine..

- My jeep is a 4.0 Straight or inline six with 273,353 Mile. It accels really good, Believe me my friend in his honda said so!! But the problem is that the thing sounds really ugly, like a Deisel but louder, Whats The Deal With That?????

Thanks to all who answer or who even read this rather long message!!!Smile

I'll venture a guess here....(all I can do without hearing it)

Brakes....Sounds like a faulty brake vacuum booster or maybe the vacuum hose to it came off or is leaking

Axle noise?...sounds like it could be an axle bearing

Engine....worn out..basically...sounds like lifter noise.....
Try adding an additive to the oil,change the oil and in place of a quart add a quart of "Risolone"...may help,may not.
Does have high mileage on this

Thats my thoughts

Thanks, Yea I had called a friend and he had mentioned something about the Booster, Sounds expensive but ill check it out if its leaking or not...

and im not sure if its the axle or not but it make some pretty bad humming toward the back of my car.

And for the engine ill give that a try, Is that the name of the product, or the manufacture?

Thanks for your reply!!!

Name of the product..

I use it a lot..have had some good results....don't know if it will help in this case or not....can't hurt...
Worth a try...costs more than a quart of oil tho...like $4.00 or more..

That doesnt sound that bad, 4.00 is nothing compared to an engine fix.. But thanks for your Suggestions and tips!!!

Re: My 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo Sign In

you may want to check the exhaust manifold if your cherokee sounds like a diesel. i have the same exact jeep with the same amount of miles and it sounds pretty loud. my mechanic told me there was a crack in my manifold. im replacing it this week, so i ll let you know if thats the prob[
