Its a 2002 edge 4x4 and it has brand new ball joints, tie rods and tires but the front end sounds like its roaring going down the road. I think the hubs might still be locked since my t case motor shattered a magnetic this weekend and had to manually knock it out of 4wd. Ihave a motor on the way but has anyone else ran into this? It roars at just about any speed and is annoying. It still drives great.

 

Check the cooling fan,maybe the clutch is stuck.

 

what about a wheel bearing and your truck doesnt have front hubs...your front axle is a live axle set up

 

Didn't know I had a live set up. This is my first 4wd so I got some learning to do. Will check clutch on fan. How do you go about checking wheel bearings in these.

Get wheels in air and see if they wiggle

 

Easy enough thanks

 

 

i would guess wheel bearings i replaced 5 in my truck already. It can get to the point that it sounds like your running a set of bogger tires up front.

 

Yea it sounds like I have badly worn mud tires up front. Will check bearings and get back.

 

if you do, rotate them to the rear and see if the noise goes away

 

I have brand new all terrian tires

 

Turns out the passenger wheel bearing has a fair amount of slack up and down. Left and right is still kinda tight. I got a bearing on the way. I know what im doing this saturday. Thanks guys

 

Changed out the front hub today and ended up having to change the cv axle too. But all back together now and put 70 miles on it with no problems.
