rear grind while turning from stop
I have a 2002 F150 XLT FX4. It doesn't happen every time but it only happens when turning from a stop.
It happens turning both left and right.
I get a very quick grind sound from my rear end. I am thinking a bearing is going bad on my rear axle.
I've read when a rear-diff fluid change can help this out. I will try that.
If that doesn't work, can I fix this (IE how difficult is this)? Or am I better off taking it to the dealer?

the noise is sthe limit slip cluthc chattering. when you turn a corner, the two tires have to turn at different speeds. the cluth slips. in a straight line, it dont do it... You need to go to Auto Zone and get a 7 oz bottle of friction modifier and add to the oil.. if your gear lube is original or old, you might want to change it out also. Use 75 w 140 synthetic.. takes 2 quarts i think,,, plus the friction modifier.
