Grinding in my front end

[Bill A]

I need to get this fixed ASAP in the morning I'm going to the local shop...
I have a 93 FD Exp 69000
an occational bumping noise the past few days - like a hit a small pothole but nothing was there. On the way home tonight 55mph in 2wd the wheel lurched and it felt like 4x4 kicked in - trany feels ok it shifts ok - I tried putting it in and out of 4x4 doing the reverse deal did not fix the problem. It is making a very noticable grinding in the front end - drove the rest of the way home about 25mph I could of gone faster but I wanted to get home.

I was hoping to get some insight before the shop guys got hold of it.

Please help out - thanks Bill

It definantly sounds like you blew a wheel bearing.

to me, it sounds like you blew or bearing or somehow damaged the inner parts of the hub to where they are stuck....
