Chip Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Has anybody came across a noise in the front end at low speed turns, kinda sounds like maybe a power steering issue or something. Should'nt be to much wrong with the truck has low miles, it is a 2003 Sss awd just turned 38,000 so its pretty cherry ride, but i cant come up with an answer. It is still there after i did the the old jack shaft trick on the steering shaft. Any answer would help greatly???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Can you describe the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Can you describe the noise? Kinda like growl but not as harsh as a wheel bearing, more like low power steering noise?? Kinda a hard noise to describe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Is the diff weeping/dripping gear lube from the pinion snout? Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Sorry to not be of much help on this one Is the noise only when you turn? Or any time when driving, even in a straight line? Is it more pronounced when you are accelerating, decelerating, or coasting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be more noticeable when i turn right than when i turn left but still have the sound both directions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyg Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, I've got this too. I think it may be a carrier bearing going, seems more notable on decel & turns at pretty much any spd. I'm prolly having it rebuilt early November by my buddy that'll be doing my NYSI. He quoted me $700.00 to do it a while back, I find that VERY reasonable and that's parts and labor.We'll see, but I've known him a long time and I refer ppl to him, so...

If it is a carrier bearing will it need rebuilt?It only has 39,000 miles on it i would'nt think i would need a rebuild quite yet would i just need to replace the carrier bearing?? I am saving for a wheatley tune and if this is minor i am going to replace it change fluid and then get tune, if i needa rebuild on my trans that will throw a wrench in my wheatley tune for sure and that will make me all kinds of pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody got an idea what i need to do please tell me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
