I took my Jeep to the garage and had the JBA upper control arms installed plus a wheel alignment. It drives a lot better now. The rattle is gone and the steering feels more rigid and responsive.

My Jeep was running like yours. Started out as a rattle sound when idling and also when I tapped the gas pedal. Eventually, the Jeep began to cough and splutter to the point where I thought I had water in my fuel. Swapped out the belt tensioner and problem solved.
Edit ; I also swapped out the...
