I have 2005 grand Cherokee making noise from front! Sounds like tire noise but it did not change when I rotated tires. Noise is there when ever car is rolling, I tried letting it roll in neutral and the noise does not change. I do notice a difference ificurve to the left. I jacked the car in neutral and turned the wheel and did not hear anything from the bearing. Wheel is tight. Any ideas

If the tires aren't cupped, feathered or chopped then most likely it is the wheel bearing. Though it may be tight it could be dry inside and not yet at the point where you will feel pay.

had a break job lately? it might be the squeakers on break pads telling you its time for breaks. or if its 4 wheel drive could be a CV joint on front axel going bad, or wheel bearing going bad too.

That would most likely be your bearing, the average for a bearing is about 80,000 miles, i would get it replaced asap, i once had a bad bearing in a vw, thought it would just stop the tire from rotating when it completely broke, i was wrong, driving down the highway the whole drum, rim, and tire came off as i was going about 55-65mph, and because the drum was attached to the run-away-wheel when it disconnected, the brake shoes had nothing to press against, so when it came off, first thing i did was (poop my pants.... almost) hit the brakes, which did nothing, the car just slowed down as if the brakes we just barley being applied, eventually, it stopped, i got out to find the brake fluid was on fire do to the heat/sparks put off by the friction, and braked fluid is very hard to extinguish, a full 20oz. bottle of water didnt do nearly as much as i thought it would, called 911, and by the time the fire department was done with it, everything from the dash board to the back bymper was totaled, and never found my drum/rim/tire. so i would get all your bearings replaced, if one is just starting to give you problems, its only a matter of time before the other ones **** out on ya.

I have a clicking noise in the right rear of my 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. It sounds like it clicks in time with the tire rotation

There are brakes shoes inside your rotor , they are for the emergency brake, lightly apply the e brake see if it changes the noise it may go away after you take. It off, rust builds up in ther

I have 2012 grand cherr every little bump u hit it has 20 in tires on it sounds terrible

If you are describing a Grand Cherokee, the tires are half flat at 20psi. This accounts for your road noise. Chances are the tires now have a pattern or groove from under inflation.

Do not know the specs for your tires, but I generally look at the maximum psi molded into the sidewall of the tire and subtract at least 4 psi to fill them.

If you go to the Discounttire.com site or the Tirerack.com site they have detailed descriptions of how tires are rated for Noise as one element.

Sometires have more noise than others. But irregular wear will make any tire noisier than normal. You also could have a problem in the bearings in the front hubs.

If the tires have not been rotated, do that and it might help.

There is a very loud humming noise coming from the front left tire! plz I await your reply. Thks.

You probably have a bad tire or wheel bearing. Either the tire is cupped causing humming noise or grease inside sealed wheel bearing is burnt up. I would take front tire and move to the back of the car. Then drive again. If noise stays the same you probably have a bad wheel bearing. If noise moves to the back of the car than you may need to replace the tire. Most likely it is the wheel bearing, I replace them all the time at my shop

I just bought a 2005 Grand Cherokee and noticed the road noise is terrible when driving. Can this be corrected?

There are lots of possible causes, and they can all be fixed.

One is alignment. If there is a bent tierod or something from hitting a curb, the front tires will be scrapping sideways slightly, and very noisy.
Very high traction tires are also very noisy inherently.
Wheel bearing will also do this, but unlikely at this new age.
Rotating radial tires from one side to another will cause excess tire noise because cords will be slack in the tire. But there is not much that can be done if that is the case except new tires.
Tire pressure either to high or low can be very noisy.
Wheel balance can do it also.

My 2005 avalon has 154,000 miles on it and I'm getting a noise from the front end, expecially when I turn sharply to the right or left. I have the tires rotated and balanced every 6,000 miles. Would this...

sounds like it could be wheel bearings but I'm surprised that when they rotate the tires they didn't catch this.

The next time you have your tires rotated ask to have the jacked up front end tested for loose front end parts. They can shake it down physically looking for play in the ball joints, tie rod ends, and bearings.

Struts generally wear out and cause a bouncy front end conditioin. Brakes, if properly assembled, won't make any additional noise when turning left or right.

Good luck on this.
