Hello, I bought a 98 durango, and over the summer i have started to hear a low noise that sounds like my tires are rubbing and i can feel it in the steering wheel. Nothing too severe. The steering wheel just barely vibrates. However, as soon as i tap the brakes, the noise will stop. I think it could be the tie rods, but i have no idea. it will make this noise when im going strait or turning. Some days it will do it and some days it wont. But it seems like its getting worse and its a little worse when i am hauling a trailer.

Thank You

Ryan

Are the tires worn evenly? When you hear it, does it get louder when you make turns?
