My friends 2001 Jimny does this, he has a problem with the panhard rod and at 45mph it starts jumping around the road, so bad that you've got to stop to go away.
Getting that fixed, but the noise you talk about is the same on his, not sure if it is related or not, as we first thought the problem was a Kingpin bearing and I thought the noise was the bearing destroying itself.
Kingpins seem fine so I'm no longer sure what the noise is. When the noise started (about 30mins into a motorway journey) we took it out of gear, still there so tryed turning the engine off and it was no better.
So I've ruled out engine trouble. The noise seems to be coming from the passanger front wheel. It goes away once you slow down to a near stop.
Something in the front right is doing it!
This has just started on my jimny too. Did anyone find out what was the matter with it? My jimnys in a garage at the moment and they are not surw what it could be after changing the bearing and several other things
mine did exactly the same. it was the auto hubs not properly engaging and disengaging. the cure - fit manual hubs or permanently lock the vac hubs. no more noise
