Hi All, I have searched thru the forum for issues pertaining to driveline noise and have come across lots of different scenarios. I don't mean to beat a dead horse with this one but this issue is driving me nuts. The issue I am having is some driveline noise that is coming from the front end. The noise starts at about 20 mph and quites down after 35 mph. Then it returns over 60 mph and goes away over 75 mph. It like a woop woop sound. I've replaced the front hub assembly about a year and a half ago due to a rubbing noise that was different from this one. I suppose it still could be the issue. I have also just recently replaced the rotors and noticed that the backing plate was rubbing on the right front. This seemed to reduce the noise some but didn't fix it. I have tried rotating the tires and that doesn't seem to help. I checked for cupping of the tires and they appear to be mint. I also jacked up the vehicle on stands and ran it and I don't hear the noise. Hummm. Could it be the tires after all? I suppose it could be the loading of the hubs when driving. Any ideas or something I may have overlooked? Thanks
