I got this sorento from a friend and now after getting it running and installing the new front drive shaft I am having big problems. (The front drive shaft was not installed when I got the truck and she was having problems with the 4x4 previously. It is full time 4x4 or awd.)
After installing the drive shaft I noticed a noise right away. Sounded like rusty brake rotors from a vehicle sitting almost. At highway speed holly crap bang bang bang. I thought the drive shaft came off or something. It did not. I really wish that it did. At least I could fix that.
Even with the front drive shaft out I noticed that the front right side makes noise when hitting bumps or steering. Not a clicking cv axle noise. metal on metal but not all the time and not too bad at all.
The only thing I can see so far is that where the drivers side cv axle goes in the axle housing is a little looser than I would like to see. The front diff have fluid and I am about to check the transfer case. I am working on the ground trying to figure out the issue. Differential or transfer case? Any thoughts?
