Title: noisey front diff
Post by: rickstar on March 26, 2018, 01:18:54 PM

I have a 2001 v6 auto grand vitara  there is a grinding noise in my front diff. it comes and goes intermittently  it appears  in 2 or 4 wheel drive and also if i roll in neutral
I have disconnected the vacuum hose and still there. it is on the right hand side of car  more than the left.
any ideas

broken CV or chipped ring and pinion

The ring & pinion should be stationary in 2WD, so that rules that out ...

I would jack up the front and roll each side individually, with TC in 2wd.  I would suspect either CV's or wheel bearings.
