A rumble ( like agressive off road tires ) has developed. I thought it was worn front tires that have been replaced = no change. The Cadillac dealer says it is normal = NOT. Since this rumble has started the following things have been done to this SRX.
Front Tires replaced and rebalanced. Front End allignment. Right front wheel bearing replaced. All drive train universal joints have been inspected for boot tears. The latest consideration is transfer case. Is the transfer case a sealed unit or is there a lubercant inspection access? Any history of these SRX's having drive train vibration/ rumble issues?

The transfer case is serviceable, the plugs are at the rear, square drive pipe plugs. Check also the rear differential for proper lubricant quantity, there also may be requirements for friction modifier if the vehicle has the G80 option.
