Please help!!!!! Front end going bad?
 
So I have noticed lately a few things that are happening up front on my stock 08 JKU. Just so you know I have a x sport with rubicon suspension on 33's. now first thing is a "bumpy" or rough ride when coming to a stop at a very slow speed. I, thinking maybe that's being cause from the tires due to low tread.

Second thing is I have almost a whining noise when cruising. Almost like its in 4WD. Not that loud but I notice it. And you can "feel" the hum (if that makes any sense) in the gas pedal. I also thought maybe this is from my hankook dynapro mt's wearing down and the whining on the street getting louder.

And third which is scaring me the most. When I am making a right hand turn and right hand turn only it feels almost like its in 4WD (steering wheels wants to come back center, like as if you would be driving in 4WD on pavement). And then it's pulling to the right but I don't know if that's just because I need an alignment or not.

Any help is greatly greatly appreciated!!!!!!

-Blair.

Do you rotate regularly?

Does the noise get more evident if you let off the gas pedal?

Yea. And I don't know if it gets louder if I let off. I'll have to check. Will let you know a little later.

I'm afraid to take it to the dealer cuz they will just say oh so you go off roading all the time.

More noticeable off throttle going down hill. Other times off the throttle its about the same.

Not all dealers are as bad as they're made out To be. I took mine into the dealer with 35's and no rear flares after I ripped an abs sensor out at Rausch lol. No problems covered it 100%. See what they have to say. Unfortunately haven't been to any dealers up ur way, took it to the one down in MD
