Front drive axle issue? Actuator? Or normal?
Thanks in advance for reading.
2003 V6. I've noticed the past few days a "clicking" sound coming from the front right. Almost like a nail in the tire. Can hear it about 20 mph or so up.
Took the tire off, no nail, rocks etc in it. Noticed that the front right side would not fully rotate, as the diff stopped it. Would go 3-4 inches to the right, stop...3-4 inches to the left, stop.
I thought maybe because the driver side tire was on the ground....
so I jacked both tires off the ground...Right front still will not fully rotate...but driver side will? I put the truck in neutral, and same results.
No CEL's, when I engage 4wd, the lights flash.....then green 4wd light stays on..I hit the VSC button, it locks and lights indicate that, turn off, no issues...
I did have an issue over the winter where when i was driving in 4HI, I would get kicked CEL codes. Thought they were engine related, and read online the codes were fuel cap related, so I bought a dealer fuel cap and replaced it. No CEL's in awhile, however, I haven't driven it in 4wd in awhile either. Not sure if they are related, or if it is coincidence.
I was under the impression that in 2hi, the tires and drive axles would spin freely?
So I guess my first question is, should the drive axles spin freely when in 2hi?
