woow-woow-woow noisw whwn tires are hot, and driving through heavy traffic

[Mahmoud]

when driving through heavy traffic for long time (one hour and more) i can hear wooow - woow - woow noise , can not allocate from where? can be from engine or weels? and this noise disappears when cool weels, or when i start moving on empty roads, car serviced one week back, and break bads are new, any advice what to check?

rubbing break pads.....maybe tires underinflated....are they offroad tires?

 

[Mahmoud]

they are originals, which comes on new XLS 2005, yes offroad tiers, presure recently checked bu the deler

well with any tires like that you might have some whine. hmmm if your paranoid about a blowout from heat you can get them filled with somekind of gas at the dealership.....i think its nitrogen or something like that.

no i don't think that this noise from rubber ware, it is from moving parts, really confused, even deiler told to forget it till the noise become louder then he'll find and fix it faster, the thing that am going to travel for 5000KM soon, and i dont like surprises in the desert, i will try again with UAE-Dubai deiler, these people really dont know any thing here

It is possibly a front wheel bearing-hub assembly going bad.

This would explain why the noise is present when hot but disapears when it cools down.

Welcome to this forum! Dogfriend once had this noise coming from his idle air control. He has a link in his website with a short video clip. Here is the link: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85293
