Hmm when im driving strait no problem but when the road is not strait I can hear a grinding noise when slightly turning with the curve but not when sitting still and turning wheel.. my front bearings and ball joints are pretty new .. could it be diff needs new fluid ? Maybe had a leak at a seal so im wondering if this is what would be heard only when Turning? I do t hear it at low speed of feel either just like around 30mph and up or changing lanes on highway

 

Even though the wheel bearings are fairly new, I would suspect them. Of course check your diff fluid level. As far as diff fluid being old, it would have to be pretty bad to actually cause an issue. Bad wheel bearings will go a long time before actually failing. You’d probably note ABS faults long before the bearings actually fail.

 

yeah I wonder.... im going to check... i sus pect a bad seal on axle but had oil leak and wasnt sure if thats the deal... front diff may be low

 

uugh.. well i found problem.... my 2 year old new front wheel bearings are shot... ball joints tight but the wheels have lateral jiggle when i push and pull on em..

 

I’m glad you found the issue, but it sucks replacing parts that you’ve already replaced.

 

yeah I got some bearing off of amazon but they looked real nice .. i need get dirrent ones but dont want to spend 275 bucks each! any good ones not so pricey?

 

I haven’t had to do them on my LR’s yet, but on the Dakota I had previously, I replaced them with the cheaper version and needed to do them again a couple of years later.
