Hello

Our Grand Caravan makes a lot of noise once you get past about 10 MPH. I thought the rear tires might be bad and just replaced them, did not do any good. My son believes the noise is coming from the front end.

The noise does sound like low pitched whirring, something that would come from rotating machinery, and it changes pitch and volume with speed changes.

Thanks

Start by doing this:

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.
