    also if the idle problem is more of it bouncing from 200-1000 rhythmically it could be the throttle Position sensor (TPS) too. Mine was doing this, and I changed the TPS for 15 bucks and about 20 minutes. All good

    Well, I'm an idiot. I recently added two 3/4" d-rings and mounts to the front of my jeep. Just so happens I was having the front ball joints replaced at the same time. All the noise has been coming from my d-rings.

    Lol that's awesome.

    I used some rubber washers on my d-ring bolts to keep them quiet as they slide back and forth.

    Thats classic, We all have done things like it tho, glad you were able to figure it out.

    I will say this, I was having a grinding sound coming from underneath near the CATS & the shop I had it at said that they feel it & hear it but have no idea what it was for the longest. I had it in a different shop & asked them to look in to it & came to find out that it was my belly skid tapping against the CATs & it was a head smacker lol

    Glad we can all find humor in our mistakes. I was just relieved I didn't have to spend anymore money in the front end. I'll be adding some picks of my tow points on here very soon. I saw pics of WK in Europe with cut outs in the bumper and I stole the idea. I think it looks very good and sleek. Too bad it's noisy as hell!
