Well have you done anything to diagnose it? And what does it sound like it could be? A tire rubbing? Is it lowered?

 

[Arthur Charland]

not a tire , it can not be heard over 20mph, sounds like it might be in the suspension, Going to garage next week ,any suggestions?

 

[JeffGS-T97]

Maybe a wheel bearing? They usually get noisier the faster you go.

 

[Arthur Charland]

As previously mentioned speed has no effect, not who bearing

 

[pauleyman]

Driven that little you're sure it isn't just corrosion on the rotors and pads that hasn't worn off because it isn't driven enough?

My bad, got alot going on around me and lost concentration.

 

[Arthur Charland]

Pads & rotors fine

All wheel drive chassis has a lot going on. Does the sound change with throttle/coast? How's the e-brake adjustment? Stock tire size? other mods?

 

[Arthur Charland]

Weak sound ,correct tires, no mods, started about 700 miles ago, maybe weather related, rubber bushings??the other morning it was gone, not unusual, but return 10 mile trip it reoccurred, not constant sound

Bounce the suspension in the driveway. Maybe that will reveal it.

 

[Arthur Charland]

Tried driveway bounce, no sound, thanks again

Turn out my problem was bad shocks/struts just hard to detect until they were removed and bushings were very bad shape, no bounce problem but upon removal it was obvious, hanks for your suggestions.
