My 2014 Overland starts humming in the front end when I reach approx 45 mph. Sometimes it will stop after a while, but will always stop under 45.
Had herd this may be a suspension problem. Any words of wisdom would help.

Could be something as simple as the tires. How many miles on them? Have you been rotating them on a regular basis? You could always rotate the tires to see if the sound moves to the rear of the vehicle.

But most likely it is a wheel bearing. They can start humming pretty loud once they go bad.

Agreed, I've also had a drive shaft go bad with the same symptom. Hopefully that isn't the OP's problem though, as that is a pricey repair.

Are you sure it is not you quietly "humming" to yourself at the joy of driving your jeep? 😁 Sorry...it's early and I couldn't help myself. Hope it is a minor issue.

Umm, the only Overland in 2014 was a Grand Cherokee.. KL version was 2016 up I believe.
