99 Suburban Hubs?

My friends 99 Suburban squeals when making a turn. It almost feels like hubs being locked in. They are auto hubs. My only question is, would hubs do that even if the vehicle is in 2wd?

GM uses a center disconnect system in the differential, not locking hubs. The CV joints in the halfshafts is where I would look first.

Yes it could, if it was set in "auto" mode instead of 2WD. We have a lot of customers drive 'em around like that.

No, it is in 2wd. I will just take it to the dealer and let em try to figure it out. I told her to buy an excursion because you at least have an option of manual or auto but she did not listen.

It should be a simple fix- there's only three potential problems, and none are expensive. Actually, problems with that 4WD system are pretty rare on 'Burbs. FWIW, 'Burb and Excursion buyers hardly ever cross over- the trucks appeal to completely different markets.
