Hope you folks can help me, I've been having this noise from the front passenger side for about a week. Sounds like a rubbing that starts at about 15 mph, and stops when I stop. Thought it was brakes but brakes looked good, noise still there! I lubed all the joints under the front end with WD40, noise still there!! Read about the automatic hubs went out and put in 4wd high, drove it, 4wd low, drove it, noise still there!!! What can I do???
 






Welcome

This is just my .02 but try switching your front tires with the back ones, it sound to me like you may have a flat spot on one of the front tire which causes a kind of vrum vrum vrum sound kinda like grinding.

Hope this helps.

I drove it this AM, and there is a high pitch. my wife said this go's away but the rubbing sound is still there.
