Scraping Noise from Front End
Hey guys,
I have a 99 Cherokee Sport. For the last few months I've had a scraping noise coming from the front, seemingly left, end of my jeep. The noise builds with speed, not with RPMs. It also goes away when turning left. Now I've had both bearings done, and both axle u-joints replaced, but the noise still persists... Any ideas?

"The noise builds with speed, not with RPMs"
More speed = more RMP's.. More speed = more motor movement. Look at your radiator shroud from the bottom. Turn the fan by hand and see if its rubbing. Mine did the same thing and I used tie wraps to secure it better. Hope this helps you.

Simplest place to start would be checking the dust shield behind the rotor. Sometimes they get bent and start rubbing on the rotor.

Have the same problem..when jacked up ,wheels turn free with no noise , wheel bearings have no play ...noise is at road speed over 5 mph coasting in neutral ..it's there with no change in sound going left and right loading each side.
