I hit a big pothole at work with my front driver's side wheel. Now every once in a while when i turn to the right i here a pooping sound. Then it goes away for a week or so and comes back, so i had it lubed up and it seems to have worked. What if it comes back?

AT MINIMUM,

I'D HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED

EXPLAIN YOUR "POOPING SOUND" TO 'EM WHEN YOU TAKE IT THERE

HOPEFULLY THEY WILL LOOK AT THE SUSPENSION STUFF A LITTLE HARDER, SOMETHING MAY BE BENT, OR SEVERELY DAMAGED. BEST TO FIND IT NOW, THEN WHEN YOU LOOSE CONTROL AND YOU REALLY HEAR "THAT SOUND"!

MAYBE THEY CAN LOCATE THE POPPING SOUND IN YOUR CHEROKEE TOO! LOL!
