A noise that goes away while turning often points to bad wheel bearings. Another possibility would be brakes. Maybe CV joints, if it's 4wd.
Worrying noise on '03 Burb
Hey all!
And a very happy new 2008!
arty:
I now had my '03 Burb for a month and a half and made som 2500 miles. Total on the meter is 30 K.
I've noticed an annoying (and worrying) sound, which seems to come from the left front wheel. It's a kind of rapidly pulsating rumbling noise. It goes away when I turn the wheel right ever so slightly, but it's there when going straight or turning left. I now have brand new, steel studded tires which gives more of a road noise, but this is somthing else. I'm taking it up with my dealer soon ( :grrrrrr: :rules: ), but would like to have some ideas as to the cause before that.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Yeah, that happened to my Grand Cherokee. Had to change the whole left front axle and repack the right CV joint and put on a new boot. Which was a pain in the a##. This boot looks good, though.
Talked to the dealer last week. He said: "Front wheel bearing! Bring it in." So I asked: "Is there a warranty covering this?" (Why am I such a jerk not getting all this in place before I sign the contract? That's what I allways do when I'm at work!? ). So he said "dunno, talk to the boss :sign0023:". So we'll se what goes. Keep your thumbs! Meter is 30K.
