Mad grinding in 2WD

[NissanNismoZ]

Er, so, the black 94 has this grinding noise, like, something is rubbing the tire, or like a can on a bicycle tire.. But pops deeply and stops. OK. It did it when I first got it, suspected the hub was bad and took out the lock ring. OK. No more problems.

So i needed 4WD to get up a mountain so I borrowed red Pathys hub and lock ring and it made the trip just fine. (not sure if this has anything to do with it) but I thought I'd exercise my reverse to my neighbors since they needed me. On my way back home, there it was. The now evem louder GRINNNNNDDDDDD POP noise.

I thought it was a fluke and ignored it since it used to go away once I took off again. Nope.

I head out to work and notice it GRINDDDDDDDD POP over and over, and making a noise like the wheel locks up for a second.

So i didnt trust it and left it home.

I never noticed it do this in 4WD

Black Pathys hub works fine in red Pathy.

Either hub does it on black Pathy.

Any idea what this can be??

I can take the lock ring out and it'll be fine again..

The hub on the other side is sticking. Check it out

So the culprit is my passenger side hub??

That sounds reasonable! cut the other would be turning backwards, or just staying still.
