Today when my wife pulled into the drive way she said that the front right sounded like a flat tire. I checked and the tire was fine. I pulled it out of garage and there is a grinding thunking noise on the front end. I feel like it is more front right.
I read posts about the oil seals leaking diff oil into the birfield grease that can cause issues, but I see no such thing on mine.
So I had the axle serviced as soon as I bought my truck. I guess I am unlucky this year with odd ball stuff. Do I start by checking for metal in the diff or pulling the flange? Or both?
This was/is my wife's daily driver. Does a sound like a flat tire mean I need to rebuild that side or is there good news? Thankfully my wife heard it when she turned into the driveway and not before.
This truck has not been wheeled since I have owned it. The princess stole it first.
Thank you for any advice.
