sickboy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 As you know i just recently bought this pathy which i love. I was turn a corner in the rain and it sounded like my tires were in 4 wheel drive or something it kinda makes a screechy tire grind noise... Anyone know wtf that is? Thanks for all your help.. I really love my pathy but i dont want it to be a P.O.S... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 have you checked to SEE if it's in 4wd??? gone through the ritual of putting it in 2H and backing up 5 feet? could be stuck in 4wd... bad habit on factory hubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickboy Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah that was the first thing that i checked.. I am puzzled. My 82 fj 60 was easier to operate than my pathy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 how are your shocks? t-bar levels? pull the wheel off and have a look around once you've done that, you'll prolly find the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think Slick gave you great advice; some other thoughts : do you have a locker on this truck?if LSD, is it working properly? are there oversized tires[>31 "] that could be rubbing ?don't forget to check steering linkage and also to lube steering stops. Good luck ! -- glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a similar problem... just don't make 90 degree turns at high speeds and you should be fine... but I'm 98% sure it that its the size of my tires... but if its something else I'm all ears... Take away this ball and chain!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickboy Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks to everyone for the help. No lockers just a funky sound... My pathy is still stock unfortunatly... BTW Social D rocks...... Somewhere between heaven and hell !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
