I have to pay money to speak with someone? Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? Do I have to pay money to speak with someone Mechanic's Assistant: It's just a small, refundable fee for a 7-day JustAnswer trial. After that, it's a small monthly membership fee. Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? I don't know whats wrong  runs fine but sounds like I'm running over bumps when I drive. 2005 Ford explorer Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Not that I can think of but it's just hard to describe

I would first inspect the tire to see if it is starting to have a separated tread or any bubbles in tread or sidewall of tire.

I wanna say that it kinda sounds like it's a tire issue but the tires look fineWorn but fineYou know something I put fix a flat in the tire right b4 it started to make this noiseCan that cause it?

Also look at tires to see if have any dry rot cracks indicating tire may have to b changed. If not sure about tire just jack up that tire and spin and look at tire. Yes fix a flat will cause issue for sure. The liquid will cause imbalance and make noise. You will need to have tire removed to get out fix a flat and either have tire patched or replaced if worn out or damaged.

Alrighty thank you Mr j
