Growling noise when I turn hard left or right. - 5/9/2007 12:30:20 AM    ziggy   Posts: 10 Joined: 5/9/2007 Status: offline I have a 2002 Durango R/T. When I turn hard left or hard right I hear a grinding/growling noise. I cannot tell if it coming from the front or rear of the vechicle. But, when I roll down the window and listen it seems to be coming from the rear. I just had the transmission serviced as well as both differentials fluid changed. Any ideas? The brakes were all replaced several months ago. Upper/Lower controls? CV's? U joints? < Message edited by ziggy -- 5/9/2007 12:38:10 AM > Post #: 1

No noise yesterday, noise today. I just got the vehicle back from the dealership this afternoon. I am not sure about the POS track question. I am a bit of bonehead governing specifics of my vehicle. 02 R/T. (in reply to master tech) Post #: 3

If I let it cool down and take it for a drive, no noise upon turning, but after 20 to 30 minutes it starts. Any ideas on that? Thanks for your help! (in reply to ziggy) Post #: 4

I am unsure how many miles there were between fluid changes as I recently  purchased the vehicle as a Dodge Certified used. It has 60,000 on it. I assumed that it must have been changed prior as it was owned by a former Dealership manager. I took it back to the dealer (a different one than where I purchased it). And they put in the friction modifier. The sound from the rear is now gone. Is there anything I should be concerned about here? (in reply to Mean Green) Post #: 6

If you have a warranty get the stealership to replace it under warranty because it can be an expensive repair. _____________________________ 2000 Durango 5.9L SLT+ Flowmaster 40 "Custom" Ram Air 31" BFG AT T/A KO's Bilstein Shocks Hidden Hitch Sirius Satelite Radio E-fan conversion Smittybilt brushguard SSU's (in reply to ziggy) Post #: 7
