Default Possible new Cherokee owner have a few ???'s

Hello, my name is Frank and i am looking into buying a 1995 Cherokee Laredo. Before i buy i have a few questions and hopefully some of you can tell me what commons problems or quirks are out there. The guy just had the brakes done in Nov of 09, rotors, pads, shoes drums and lines. What concerns me is the right front hub is making a slight noise, other than that nothing is appears to be wrong.

What could be making the Hub noisy?

Thanks, hopefully it works out

The hub bearing could be going bad. It's a sealed unit/assy. and if needed has to be replaced as the hub and bearing together. JMO
And Welcome to CF from Dan from Tenn.!

rust above muffler ... floor boards... shift good ? 4wd work ?heater cores like to leak on these Im guessing from the write ups i have seen.. sounds like bearing in hub... not much to fix... over all you wana check all the fluids , make sure no rust in it...oil clean ? drive it as much as you can before you buy..

i checked the entire tub for rust and it looks really really good. things like hangers and thing metal is alittle brown but nothing major at all. I did not look above the muffler but i will. 4wd works, has part time full time and low. Oil was clean and did not smell burnt or like fuel. same with the trans fluid.
