Weird Noise, Even for a Jeep!!
Hey y'all. Driving the jeep yesterday with the windows open I noticed an odd noise coming from what sounds like my front pass. wheel. I know its a spinning part because I could hear the noise spinning. Its like an weird hissing buzzing noise that rotates around. I was think maybe the brakes are rubbin a little. I only hear it at low speed. Any ideas?

might be a wheel bearing. lift the tire and shake it side to side *gently* as well as up and down. if it moves all 4 directions, its a wheel bearing.

One day after a hiking trip, when I started my old corolla I heard a god awful screeching, banging and popping sound when I tried starting the car. When I opened the hood I found pieces of a former rattlesnake scattered around my engine compartment and wrapped around what used to be a fan belt and fan. I can only assume it crawled up in there and got caught in the belt when I went to start it.
The gross part was when I opened the hood, the larger chunks were still sorta squirming
My buddy drove me to auto zone, by the time we got back it wasnt squirming, we changed the belt, scraped out the chunks with a stick and were on our way

I creamed a porcupine once, found my radiator covered in needles a year later.
