I test drove a 2004 Rendezvous equipped with AWD. It drives fine on the highway and in the city.
Only untill I turned tight (left and right) did I hear a noise similar to tires rubbing but louder. The noise was almost like a hydralic pump struggling. I am concerned that the noise is due to AWD abuse.
Also the noise sounds a lot like tire rub because you can hear the rotation in relation to the the noise.
I am trying to determine if sticking to 2wd rendezvous's is a better plan...
Obviously it is difficult to describe the noise via words, but if you have any IDEA of noise in the rear differential please reply. Thank you all very much.
