OK I need some help here. I have quite a nasty noise coming from the front end of the car. all signs pointy to the transfer case. The noise is a low tone whine almost like a growl. Thought it might be the transfer case, but I am not sure. ought the car used, kinda questionable history, found that out after I bought it.
Noise starts up at around 40mph and tones down a little around 80
When making a hard right the noise completely goes away.
Changed the oil in the transfer case after I started to hear the problem. Didn't seem like much drained, maybe it was low, and it was a bit gritty. Noise has gotten worse since then.
If anyone has any experience with this and has some time to listen/ drive and gimme an idea on a fix or even what the problem is, I would appreciate it. Or maybe a local shop that could help me out. I live in Lake Forest.
Thanks....
