Im getting a loud moaning that starts around 60mph. at least thats when its noticeable. I was thinking wheel bearing, but you would think that would be heard at low speeds as well. Dont have the money to start replacing parts right now. hoping someone had this problem b4. No vibration through the steering wheel or any shake at all. If you put your fingers in your ears it seems fine. lol
Thanks

sounds like your jeep is tired

did you check for any girls in your trunk?

My wife says there better not be!

how many miles are on your jeep? I know my dads wj does that at high speeds due to his worn in exhaust. he has like 142k

shonuff

170k+. i just replaced everything from the cat back. New cat included. You think that could be the problem? The manifold and the front pipe are the only thing left. It does seem to resonate from the front drivers side.

girls arent in the trunk.. thier under the hood. the vibes from the engine are making them hot.

you didnt just put new tires on did you?

shonuff

No, but Its been doing this ever since I bought it. No noise at lower speed. No shaking or anything either.

Best thread title in a long time.

Sounds like it could be the bearing or the rear end

I just put new tires on mine and it's doing this..mine starts at about 30 though..replaced the driver wheel bearing..no fix..went to get an alignment and the shop said my passenger wheel bearing is bad..but that doesn't make sense since the noise comes from the drivers side...im thinking that it is the differential in yours and mine...well yours that is unless you have a bad wheel bearing also lol

start by jacking up the front end. then with hands at 3 and 9, try to wiggle the wheels. if they wiggle, it's wheel bearings.

then get under the jeep with jeep in neutral and wheels chocked, and try to push up on the rear pinion right at the end of the driveshaft.
if it moves up and down, then it's the pinion bearings. you can also see if it moves in and out.
that would definitely make that sound at speeds.

X2 on the rear wheel bearing. I have had 2 (Chryco 8.25) go in 2 different rears over the last couple years. On mine it was the right rear whining at around 50-60mph...Tj

this also reminded me with the checking if the pinion moves...should there be free play in the shaft..(the shaft from tc to differential) mine has about 3/4" movement when parked
