On a 4WD Jeep Liberty, what is the difference in sound(s) between a bad front drive axle CV and a bad hub bearing? Thanks in advance. |

In my experience, the CV will give you clacking noises when you are maneuvering in 4wd, while front hubs are more like a constant roaring hummmm that varies in relation to speed regardless of the drive mode. |

Suggest you grease the hubs through the ABS sensor hole and see if that helps with the noise. Here's a post that might help: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=79729 Steve |

I just started to get a whirring/groaning sound between like 20 and 55mph. Once I get above 55 it goes away. Would this likely be the front drive shaft CV? I was hoping it wouldnt be the hubs since i just did the brakes. |

Whelp, I pulled the front shaft and i still have the noise and vibration so i guess thats out. Hmmmm, hubs, tires, front half shafts, rear driveshaft. Crap. The weird thing is that my MPG's dont seem to have changed. |
