I recently rebuilt the front Dana 44--fresh factory axle/U-joint/stub axle assemblies, wheel bearings, knuckle seal kits, etc.
To break in the all the new pieces, I'm driving around short distances with the T-case in neutral and the hubs locked.
When I turn I'm hearing a rubbing noise (as opposed to a "grinding" noise, which gets louder the sharper the turn and conversely lessens as the knuckles return to a straight line.
What am I hearing?
