drewp29 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hello Everyone! The past few days we have had quite a bit of snow around here, so I have been driving mostly in 4hi and I noticed something odd. While braking in 4hi and sliding slightly, I have heard a grinding coming from my front differential. At one corner in particular that is downhill and a little off camber it has happened twice now. My thoughts are that the ABS is kicking in from the slip condition and for some reason the front diff is not liking what the brake system is trying to accomplish. I think it is the front differential and not the brakes based on the location of the noise, but could be wrong. The first time it happened I thought I had a problem with my brakes, but otherwise they feel fine. This is the only condition in which the noise can be reproduced. Any thoughts on what might be the culprit? My 2002 Pathy has stock suspension, stock tire size, and the brakes are worn but NOT totally shot at this point.

XPLORx4 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 What you're describing sounds like just the ABS kicking in, not anything related to the front diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
