Front End Noise

95 4.0L trxus 32x10.5 RE 3.5

Im getting some front end noise, kind of like a whining/road/tire noise, increases with speed, doesnt go away above 50 or anything, it just gets louder. It started all of a sudden, it wasnt like a gradual thing. Its also kind of hard to pinpoint where the noise is coming from.

I replaced both front bearings, took the diff case off, didn't see any chipped teeth, replaced the oil (there was oil in there), all to no avail. I got an alignment, balanced the tires, still no luck.

I tried searching, found some info but no real answers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot guys.

did you rotate the tires? it could also be a front pinion bearing or u-joints in the front end, either drive shaft or axle joints........pull the front DS and drive it w/o it and see if the noise goes away.

Sounds like it could be a bad tire? Rotate them that would be the easist way to go about it.

Could be front hubs, when mine went, high pitched whine got louder with speed. Swapped in some spare hubs and shafts, noise has not come back.

i will try pulling the driveshaft today. thank you guys.

turn the music up louder

did the music thing work????

no.
