While driving today, my truck started making a slight tick, tick sound. While making a slight right, I heard a loud squeal. I found a mechanic who said it was the sway bar and I would be able to make it home okay (about 70 miles). On the way home it started making a grinding sound. Well about 6-7 miles from home the grinding sound got pretty bad, so I pulled over and checked underneath. Everything seemed okay so I started driving again. About a mile down the road both the grinding noise and my steering got really bad, then my 4x4 light started blinking and my Advanced Trac light came on. Needless to say, I pulled over and had the truck flatbedded to my mechanic. I had my sway bar links done about a month ago. The tow truck driver thinks it may be my AWD because the sway bar appears to be intact and is not loose in any way. I have 244,000 miles and am not sure if it's going to be worth fixing. Any advice or personal experience with something like this would be greatly appreciated.
