Re: Rubbing sound when turning at low speed

And now for the follow up. The night before pulling the axles out and having new bearings pressed on I was out drinking with a friend. Told him the story and he said maybe the friction material in my posi (Ford Trac Lok) rear is locking up. I swapped in an open center section and presto, no chattering or rubbing sound. The open rear is a 3.0 and the posi is a 3.50. I miss the off the line snap but on the highway it should be much better.

Thanks for all the help!

Paul
