try this first check the diff. you can do this by buying a cheap magnetic pencil it a small magnet on the end , you may have to put a bend or curve in it to get to the bottom of the diff. you are looking for metal gringings alot of it. if nothing is found move to the inner bearings block the front up make sure that it is stable. then get under the front with a large screwdriver or pry bar and pry up at the inner axle end on both sides. ot the diff.watching for a lot of movement no then go to the outer bearings. near the rotor do the samething nothing then look at the rotors for grooving and little or no pad. then look at the wheels for metal dust behind the rotor. if all this fails the problem may not be with the diff

It means that you need to have the front end serviced. You can always try a fluid change, but usually when they grind it means they are coming to their end. I would suggest getting a fluid change and pay the extra for synthetic fluid. It might get you 10,000-20,000 more miles but then you need to be ready to get new gears.

First check your inner cv joints,but most likely you have chipped a ring gear.Common issue with these they're not really built for hard offroad action.Smmit carry's alot of good aftermarket parts for this

One of two things. # 1. Pinion bearings.
# 2. Carrier bearings.
Cross your figures thet the ring or pinion gear is OK.
