Grinding/clicking noise from the front end

[hockey4704]

I have a 91 explorer 4 wheel drive and when i turn it makes a grinding and/or clicking noise comming from the front end, i think it has something to do with the auto locking hubs? and you can also hear a slight rubbing noise comming from the same area when i just go straight, does any one know any thing about this?

I also have another problem, this is with the four wheel drive, when i turn really sharpe with the four wheel drive on it feels like binds up and then it feels like the brakes are on and i cant really move to easily. If any one has the answers to theese questions it will be greatly appretiated. Thank You.

I have this problem and in my case I have to keep adjusting the wheel bearings. I`m trying to find out what is causing them to loosen.

You cannot engage 4wd on dry hard surfaces.It binds the front differential. It`s normal.Can only be used on soft or slick sufaces
