New gear/locker noise
I just had a new set of 4.88 Yukons installed along with ARB lockers front and rear. During the first 50 miles of break in I've developed a very noticable grinding noise coming from the front left area. This grinding is also producing some pedal and steering wheel feedback. I'm not entirely sure if this grinding is coming from the wheel\hub area or from the diff though. Here's the real kicker...when I engage 4 wheel drive on the transfer case the noise goes away completely along with the feedback. Thoughts? The shop did tell me that they setup the fronts pretty tight to maximize contact area since it's a D30 and all...
