Ours is an 06 with 135k. I fooled with it over the weekend and am pretty sure it's all wheel noise. I rotated the front tires side to side and the noise was there but did sound like maybe it was coming from the right instead of the left. Swapped the tires front to back and the noise went away. I've done bearings and lots of suspension over the last year so I didn't think it was any of that. Looks like its time for new tires. Thanks for getting back.
