I have a 2004 Durango it is making a noise when i drive forward, the sound seems to be coming from the front drivers side near the tire. The sound seems to stop when its put in reverse. also it doesn't shake at any speed so i'm at a loss, i'm thinking maybe its a brake issue? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

 

what kind of noise? a hum? a tap? a tick? a slapping sound? a squeak? ect ect different components make different noises

 

If it's a hum I would suggest pointing your worries to the wheel bearing.

 

its a tap it almost sounds like each time the wheel goes around metal taps on metal. i also forgot to say this is an AWD Durango

 

Well I would suggest giving that area a good once over and make sure nothing such as a loose connector or anything is hittin your rotor, wheel, or tire.
