[sexygixxerchic]

Ok so for those who don't know I was involved in a accident Aug 1st 06 some a*shole decided to go around traffic crossed the yellow line and hit me head on dead center. So anyhow today is the first day I have used my 4wd since the accident keep in mind it worked fine last year well today I noticed while driving the 4wd high and auto 4wd were noisy and when I would turn it got really loud. Now this may seem like a stupid question to some but since I was hit head on is it possible it screwed up my 4wd? I have absolutely no idea where any of that is located any help would be appreciated I also attached a pic of my av after the accident so you can get a idea how it was hit and the damage. Thanks Stacy

Were the roads pretty dry?

ouch!
what type of noise is it making? is this on dry pavement?

 

[sexygixxerchic]

No most were covered others were very slushy. It's kinda hard to explain the noise I guess it sounded like it was grinding

Hmm that's odd, usually the grinding is from the 4 wheels trying to turn on the dry pavement... found that out once by mistake

Oh that makes me feel so sad to look at your truck in that condition. Glad you're ok......I know about AzWholes on the highway....I had one put me in the ditch 2 weeks ago and I had to get winched out.........for a minute there I thought the truck was gonna go over, it was leaned over so far...........

I would think that a front end collision could definately affect the front wheel drive components...........

I have the same problem when i first bought mine, i took mine to the dealer and they told me that's how the newer ones sound. even in auto it it still putting power to the front diff.  i made them check everything and they said it's fine.
