2019 Sahara Unlimited
I have a 2019 Sahara Unlimited I ordered early December and picked up about two weeks ago. On Monday here in the northeast we had temps below zero along with a snow/ice storm. While driving to work over snow packed frozen roads I noticed what sounded and felt like a loose suspension component underneath the driver’s footwell area. Two days later the temps warmed up and road conditions improved. It seems to have gone away but I’m not convinced. I am aware of the previous weld issues and mine appear to be good. I also looked underneath and there is nothing obvious. I thought that maybe the extreme cold caused the components and bushings to stiffen up but I don’t want to ignore it.

I know I can bring it to the dealer but I absolutely despise dealer service departments. I could write a book on all of the issues I’ve had over the years. When I can do repairs myself, I always will. If I can’t, I watch them like a hawk and inspect their work. I’d like to know if anyone has had a similar issue or can offer some advice on what the problem might be. Thanks.

It could have been ice trapped somewhere.

It went away when things warmed up but we are back in a deep freeze and the sound has returned.
