I'm new to the jeep community. my concern is regarding the sound my jeep makes in motion. at first i thought it was the new tires put on the jeep, my buddy is an avid jeep driver/user/mechanic; he seems to think its minor, however its getting louder and perhaps worse. it sounds like a "weening" sound and gets even louder after 30mph and i let off the foot feed...what is it?

i've diagnosed it, but only a little bit. i'm very busy and have little time to actually tackle the detail; i think its the bearings. the sound comes from the front only.
