Re: rumbling noise on my 2002 wrangler at highway speed
I am not familiar with this tire, but the name doesn't look like "Wolverine
Claw" or something that you would expect to make a lot of road noise. If I
am wrong, and the tires have great big lugs for gripping in the mud, that
could be the problem. Otherwise, the u-joints are really easy to check with
a few simple tools. If you need to replace one, I recommend taking the
whole drive shaft to a machine shop. Let them worry about it if one of the
cups is seized in a yoke.
