Default Help Please!!! Durango

04 Durango 5.7 Hemi front-end noise/vibration/light grinding?
Not sure exactly where it's coming from but my 04 Durango is making a rough/grinding (not loud) noise, I cannot pinpoint it to anything but if I go around 85-90mph, you don't feel it much. If I'm at a red-light, you can feel the vibration in the steering wheel as soon as you start driving. If you make a turn, it seems to be worse, and sticks around longer. People in the passenger seat can feel it too (and hear it).
Any help out there?
I don't want to get robbed by my dealer or repair shop!!!

Thank YOU!!!!

Call the dealer to see if there is a TSB about the noise. I think there was an earlier thread about a noise in the drive train that was addressed.

Rotate the tires (front ones to the rear, rear ones to the front). Just make sure it's not a balance/bent wheel issue.

Is the grinding noise coming from the brakes?

Yep, did that and got front brakes done.....still the same.
Thanks!!

Not sure if this helps, but the slower I go, the rougher it feels/sounds. If I just coast at idle, it feels like its rubbing a front tire (or both). Also, I just noticed I'm only getting 12.6 mpg on avg now.
