Front end noise - 3/2/2008 12:56:32 PM    tkopnicky   Posts: 7 Joined: 11/23/2006 Status: offline Does anyone know what could be causing the noise I got coming from the front end?  2002 durango 4x4 5.9L 63,000 miles.  On a recent road trip a noise started coming from the front end.  Sounds like I got mud tires on and I don't.  Check diff fluid level and OK and fluid looks fine.  I checked front wheels for possible hub bearing failure but both sides are tight.  Left and right axles have slight play in them when I hold wheels and twist shafts.  CV boots are all intact and no cracks.  Fuel mileage according to the computer is not affected, same as before.  The only recent work done was a new serp. belt prior to the trip.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

It would go away and come back.  I took the wheel of and everythig seemed fine, one day the nois got really loud so i pulled over and had it towed to my house.  pulled off the wheel and the passenger side wheel bearing no longer existed.  It was demolished. If you think this may be a possibility i would go ahead and replace it before you have to buy new rotors like i did.  BTW the bearing sound got worse when i was taking turns.
