Front wheel noise when going from 4WD to 2WD - 01/04/05 10:39 PM
I've just started to notice a metallic whirling sound coming from the front wheels when I take my Xterra out of 4WD. It usually goes away (or at least becomes much less noisy) when I drive the vehicle in reverse for a short distance. It also occasionally goes away on its own but there first is a loud "thunk". I'm bringing it in for the 22500 mile checkup pretty soon, but anybody else have that and know what it is?
