| Post subject: | Hearing noise, need help pinpointing problem |
I've been hearing some road noise when driving the KJ. I can't pinpoint exactly where the noise is coming from. It's a humming sound, almost like wheel bearings going bad or a bad alignment or the sound that mud tires would make. Anyway, the humming sound happens when driving under load, but when I let off the accelerator to coast, the sound seems to dissipate. As soon as I touch the accelerator again, the humming sound comes back. I don't know if I have a u-joint going bad or what. Anyway, it's a 2007 KJ with 40,000 miles on the odometer. Any thoughts? |

How many kilometres on the tyres? They get noisy as they wear down, especially ATs. |

First things I always check with noises like that are: Rear U-joints ( mine rusted up before 50,000 miles and felt fine but when I took them apart found them bad) Right Side CV/ Intermediate shaft will make a similar noise at first Rear CV on front driveshaft ( most times lots more miles than yours has though when they go bad) Start with those |
