When making a sharp turn to the left with the steering wheel locked, the front feels like its hoping, grabbing, or something kind of acts like 4x4 is engaged. . what do you guys think it could be? its fine when i turn right. i have AWD so any thoughts? i havnt had an alignment in a while maybe i should do that and see if its fixed. but what else could be causing it? thanks.

 

Whens the last time you changed out the gear lube in the front end?


Same on the T-case?

 

what do the tires look like?? are you getting any unusual wear??

 

i checked and it actually acts weird both left and right sharp turns, more so on the left though. and the front differential had its fluids changed not too long ago about 4k miles ago, ill change the transfer case fluid though.

and for the tires i have some feathering on the outside edge of the right tire. but both tires are pretty worn, im getting new ones in a couple of weeks.

 

IIRC that typical for AWD, but I'm not sure how the AWD operates on the Durango.

Raise the truck and inspect the knuckles on both sides, Over time the lower control arms will have a lip and cause the knuckle to hang up on the lower arm.
