Background info:
2006 Overland with 89k miles
Today was the first time I ever heard this noise.
High heat and high humidity (Tampa, FL)
Location on vehicle: Passenger-front
Symptom:
It was not an engine or suspension noise. It sounded like a bearing that dried up and was in desperate need of replacing... maybe a bushing that just needs greasing?? The best way I can describe it is to say it sounded like a dull high-pitch noise... maybe like a cat purring but with a high-pitch tone added in. I originally heard it at 35mph and it went away very briefly, then it came back at higher speeds (80mph), but once I slowed down to 70ish mph, it went away and intermitently came back along the way. The ride was still smooth and unaffected. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks.
