I have a new-to-me 2002 Liberty Sport. I am hearing this odd noise and want to see if someone may have some ideas as to what to check. It happens when I come to a complete stop, usually rather abruptly, but sometimes doesn't have to be abrupt. The sound reminds me of driving a truck with something in the bed and coming to a stop and it slides and hits the front of the bed. Its a sliding noise, then kind of a thud. Sounds like it may have something to do with the brakes, but the brakes appear to be fine. Great stopping power, no weird noises directly attributable to the brakes. I know I need shocks, as when I hit a bump I can hear a thud in that wheel, but not sure what the sliding noise could be. Details: 2002 Jeep Liberty 4x4, automatic, 3.7L, 134,000 miles. I know I probably won't be able to solve it with the info I get here but I hope to get some ideas of places to look.
