4X4 problem

ok i change it into 4x4 no problems but once i turn it makes a loud noise. like grinding ig uess u could say? from the front left wheel. help?

The majority of the 4Runners have part-time 4WD. You shouldn't have it in 4WD on dry pavement. The drive train will bind. Only use the 4WD under poor traction conditions.

it doesnt do anytihng at all, runs perfect. while in 4x4. but the tihng it does is when i turn left its makes an odd noise.

What Year is Your 4Runner?
If you have CV Joints in your front end it could be one of them gone on the Left Side.
If you have a solid axle in your front end it could be a U Joint or Universal on the left side of your axel.
Just my opinion.
Good Luck.

Whether IFS or solid axle, it's still a CV joint. Toyota doesn't use a U-joint in the front axles.

But I vote failing CV joint also.

Well it might not be a U joint but where I come from we called it a Universal in the front axle of a solid axle and a CV or Constant Velocity Joint in an IFS front end.
Sorry about the mix up.

As I said above, you are not supposed to use the vehicle in 4WD unless you are under poor traction conditions. Don't do it and you won't have the noise.

Are you getting that Noise when Your NOT in 4wheel drive ?
