front end noises

[mattjeep]

Whats up everyone. Maybe you guys can give me your opinions. Right at 55 i hear a thrumming sound coming from my front end suspension, and it does it when i braking to. I don't feel any vibrations or anything in the steering wheel. Mine is a 2wd so obviously I don't have cv joints, but if anyone's ever heard how a cv joint sounds when its going bad, thats what the thrumming sounds like. What do you guys think?

Wheel bearing maybe. Does it change when turning the wheel left to right?

I'm thinking that too....

Na it doesn't change with steering wheel movement. What trips me out is how it only does it between 50 and 55.

Balance??? Alignment???

Tires.

I would go with tires or drive 49-56

LOL...

I have the same issue at that speed. However I only hear mine in 4hi.

As jeepjeepster says in other post I hope you are not running 4 wheel on hardtop,big problems will result.

I guess this is directed at AMG since mattjeep has 2WD. Anyway, I would expect extra noise from 4HI simply because the transer case is engaged. One more gear whine. I still say a lot of mystery noises can come from tires. Espcially up front with 2WD and a strut suspension.
