Have you ever replaced the front hub assemblies at 123k? Not sure what you mean by "kick's in traction control". Do you have a V8 with true AWD or the V6 with Control Lock auto 4WD or whatever Ford called it?

New " lady friend's " car. V6 4.0l. I can feel something grabbing and dragging enough to turn on traction symbol on dash. when brake applied, not the same feeling as brakes. unknown previous repair history.

If it has a CV/half axle set up, That could be the problem. Check for torn boots . They sound like worn out brake pads when they go bad..
