I have a 98 Jimmy 4wd that I upsized my tires on. Went to 31"s.. They were fine no problems. That was about 3 or 4 months ago. Recently I started hearing a noise from my front wheels. At first I thought my aluminum tag on the front was rattling but I took it off and listened closer it was definetly from the front wheels and it only did it when the car went on "uneven" road and bounced a little. I have considered that it is rubbing but It doesnt sound like that. More of a creaking or rattle when the i go over bumps,


All that said any idea what it could be is it possible it is anything really serious that i need to run to the shop like yesterday for.

 

If you cranked the t-bars it could be that with the tires and the increase in the cv joint angles that the cv joints are going bad, or it is a bad shock, maybe a ball joint or wheel hub. It could be a number of things and we would need to know some more info, like was it lifted what is the mileage on it? Hope this helps.

 

it has 115000 miles never lifted. No t-bar adj. either

 

headed to the shop 2day found out the suspension was in bad need for lubing fixed it....for now
