When in 4wd and spinning i tend to hop pretty bad regardless of traction(solid ice with water on it or snow...etc) i also notice my drive side front tire(prolly passenger too) flops around like im sawing the steering wheel.. but im not. Any reasons? Its almost exactly like death wobble but just when spinning the tires... Never while driving. I also keep getting a weird wine noise when throttling on it hard(driving or spinning) and seems to becoming from the wheel bearing area... So anyone know? Hope that makes sense...
Got out of bed to check the wheelbearings today.. Both check out fine along with both ujoints and the entire front end(couldnt find anything) Both drive shafts are good too.. Any ideas?
Jack up the front, put it in four wheel drive, (make sure the cad engages) spin a front tire. Feel anything unusual? Hear anything you don't think you should? (you can shut off the engine...... cad should stay locked.) Gotta have both front tires up off the ground though.
How about the control arm bushings? They may be 'enough' under normal circumstances, but, start putting power to the front wheels..... and maybe they are not?
