97 jeep grand cherokee, strange pop\clunk sound

97 jeep grand cherokee, strange popclunk sound from underneath drivers side. Ive had it checked out by my mechanic, and he is stumped. Tie rod ends are tight, new shocks, new brakes, new tires, and a new steering shock. Also the coils look good, and the jeep itself runs ok and drives fine. It makes the noise when the suspension flexes over bumps. (basically when the left front tire is raised) Just wondering if this is a common problem or should i just get a new mechanic?

    Many times a fresh set of eyes on it will help. If your mechanic has been good with most other things you've needed I would not "dump" him over that. Have another reputable shop check it out and if they say they know what it is, have them show you and have them guarantee their solution will work.

Check the front stabilizer bar and the bushings on it. It is located under the radiator with arms that bend back to each front tire.

1999 jeep grand cherokee clunk in driveline under acceleration. Sound like noise coming from left front area.

You don't give much of a description , but from what you describe check the CV joint(s) on the driver and passenger sides and also check the "U" joints on both drive lines.

97 Jeep Grand Cherokee only blows heat and ac out of dashboard

There is a vacuum leak under the hood. If it's a 6 cylinder, look on the drivers side for a vacuum line that runs vertical with a 90 degree angle fitting to the manifold. That one usually comes off. If it is a V8 look on the battery side for a broken or corroded vacuum line.

How do I remove door panel to get to the motor ?

Ive yet seen a jeep window come off track. sounds like your window regulator is broke but hopefully im wrong. anyways, remove all the screws some have cover over them, just remove the cover and youll see some sort of screw. Then pull out and try not to breake the plastic clips that pop into door. its pretty easy once you just look at if for a min. let me know if you have anymore questions about this
