I have been trying to find the source of a 'whirring' noise in my geartrain for a while now.
The noise is a light whirring noise, audible above 35MPH, somewhere on the drivers side, that I thought was coming from the front-end. The brake calipers/rotors/pad were replaced. Swapped hubs from side-to-side. No change.
Just came back from opening deer weekend up in the mountains and I descoverd that when turning right aroudn corners, I have a louder 'whirring' noise; but only when coasting. If I slightly touch the accelerator, the noise will dissaper instantly. I can reproduce it at will.
Sounds like it might be coming from the rear-end - first long drive with the rear seat folded down.
Still thinking front hubs - but I would believe that the hubs would make noise under load (i.e. cornering load) regardless if coasting or not.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm going to pull the rear drums off - the only part of the jeep I have not been into yet.
Thanks for any ideas.
