jeep tire/steering issue...
Since this site also could almost be called NJ jeep owner association... I have a Jeep question...
Vehicle is a 2001 Cherokee sport, (4dr, auto, 4wd etc).. My friend complains of a clicking/popping/grinding sound coming from the drivers side tire area when making left turns. We also just had to change his drivers front tire to the Spare due to major uneven tire wear. ONLY the drivers side tire had wear on the outer edge down to the metal cords. All other tires show normal wear. I'm thinking bad hub assembly. Any other possible causes? He doesn't have much money so can't afford throwing a ton of parts at it. Even taking it to a shop and paying a diagnostic fee, then parts and labor would be really pushing it. I would swap the hub myself for him if I feel very confident that it is the cause. He did say the tire wear got worse as the noise got worse, and tires all wore fine prior to noise. Oh, and also best place to get bearing and brand?
