Can anyone tell me what this road noise i'm getting may be. like i said i think its my drivers side front u joint going cause that's where i feel i hear it coming from.

The best way i can describe the sound is, anything over about 35 mph it sounds like im driving 80 mph down a concrete highway with mud boggers on for tires. i have a completely stock jeep with stock tires. All the tires look good and this noise only came about after a pretty hard offroad trip with some deep water crossings. Just trying to see if i have the right part in mind.

Growling sounds are generally associated with wheel bearing failure. After driving, check the temperature of your hubs. If it's hot to the touch, your wheel bearing has failed and you should replace it immediately. They are not serviceable so you need to buy new ones.

Is it possible its my front pinion bearing? i was talking with a fellow jeep buddy and he had the same issue.

Does sound like wheel bearing but do this, rotate your tires front to back and remove front driveshaft. If the noise is still at the same spot then its a wheel bearing.

I say go with the check temperature after a drive test though, of both front ones

where exactly am i feeling for temperature? on the wheel itself? cause everything seems hot because of the breaks
