I have a 2004 outlander AWD w/ 160,000 miles. I have replaced parts on the front end: tie rods, struts. I recently had it aligned and new tires. They said my right rear strut was bent so my chamber will remain off. Now I'm hearing loud clunks going over small bumps and my rear end has a very distinct whining sound that's more audible at lower speeds.

 

new tyres.

 

New tires?

 

...could explain the whining noise.
