jerky steering in 4x4 while turning
Hello truckies:
Can anyone tell me what the most likely cause is for very jerky steering while turning on a sharp radius in 4x4 (forwards and backwards)? It has only recently become bad.
I've also noticed a slight grinding noise (continuous) from the left front wheel (hub?) while in 4x4.
I'm not a mechanic so I'll likely be taking this in to the shop to get fixed and I want to sound like I'm not completely clueless and avoid getting totally hosed.
My apologies if a thread on this already exists. I spent 15 minutes looking but didn't find anything. If it exists, pointing me to that thread would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Chris

You should only be using 4wd in low-traction conditions, for this and other reasons (like overall driveline binding).
As for the grinding, I think others may weigh in here. You say it only happens in 4wd?
