Intermittent Front-End Hum - 2014 XLT

[dschmit11]

Just purchased a 2014 XLT. Starting to notice an intermittent hum from the front end around 60mph+. It's not a consistent sound, but always happens and seems to be on the right side. Very very slight vibration almost unable to feel it. Dealership put brand new tires on it and balanced them.

Brought it in to them and dropped it off for service to drive it. They said they didn't hear anything, but the sales mgr I took out heard it. In a tough place with this one. Dealership said they cant do anything if they cant diagnose. Hoping its nothing serious.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Welcome to the Forum.
My guess is that it could be a wheel bearing. There are several members who have had to replace them.
