Hi All

I have a 99 WJ with what sounds like shot front hubs (Loud whirring noise whilst driving)

Problem is its a 2WD Laredo and all the hubs I have found online seem to be for a 4wd version.

Is the hub the same ?

Thanks

They're the same. The 2WD has a stub axle that goes through the hub/bearing, and has the ABS tone ring on the inboard end of it.

Many thanks for that, I shall now order 2 new ones for the front. Here's to hoping it solves the problem.

I suppose it would be better to actually ask the question to see what people think.

I have a whirring sound which sounds from the front when driving

It gets louder as I accelerate and quieter when I decelerate

It pulls slightly to the right on the straight

I had the front up and both wheels have NO movement and when spun they are quiet and make no noise.

I have recently fitted new calipers, discs and pads on the front.

And the whirring still goes on. It sounds like loud road noise.

Local fitter said he's 90% sure its the bearings but there is no evidence.

As I said its 2wd rear

Weird.

Any advice ?

Gee oh Dee

It does indeed sound like wheel bearings.

Then new hubs it is then. I will let you know when its done how it went, or not as the case may be.

Thanks Guys
