Default noise when turning left in 4wd high

any clues as to what would cause noise when turning left in 4wd high, it is not that loud but don't want it to get worse.

What tyres are you running? If you are running a mud or off road tyre with an aggressive tread, it could simply be tyre noise, mines does it all the time. But it probally is a hub, or bearing. The vacuum hubs have a tendancy to fail and the vacuum line leading to the hub cracks, allowing dirt and water to enter the hub and contaminate the hub and front bearings!

well i got a chance to go and look at the wheel area and im not familiar with all the parts as finding a repair manual or diagram is apparently impossible, but there is a rubber tube running to the brake area and it had broken off, this happened on both sides, i pushed it back on but have no idea what this is. The tube leads to a black canister and when i removed a tube it made a vaccum sound. i believe part goes to the manifold as well? i dont know if there is supposed to be liquid in these tubes or if they are just air pressure...they are not the brake lines that much i know ha....

if anyone has a link to or has a diagram of the engine compartment and wheel area that would be really appreciated...but i imagine these tubes have something to do with the hubs and since they were disconnected for so long probably has frigged the whole thing up....

any input is appreciated thanx

Some type of black vacuum line maybe?

This site has a on-line manual, it's free and is the same manual Kia techs use! http://www.kiatechinfo.com/viewer/de...asp?group=shop
