I recently purchased a 2006 Yukon Denali XL with 175K miles. I don't think too much has been done to the truck other than general maintenance. I'm hearing and feeling some road noise that feels like friction in the front end when going highway speeds. It has a low-pitched roaring sound.
On a typical import, I would find a parking lot and drive around in circles, putting a load on each wheel hub. In adition, when accelerating in an import with bad hub bearings, the noise gets louder the faster you drive. In the Yukon, it doesn't seem to work that way. How do I tell if my hub bearings are going bad? Is there anything else that could make that noise? The tires are new and definitely not the cause of the noise. I've rotated them just to verify.
