Ummm only initially ie from cold or while driving at normal temperature, speeds?
1st automatic thought is transmission especially if Auto not manual.
Checked the transmission fluid level?
The moaning sound? Could it be break lining sound ie as if hand break on or break pads grabbing.
With wheels of ground rotate them to see if they freely move, naturally the car would have to be in neutral for front wheel drives, hand break released for rear wheels. If AWD then im stumped as ive no experience with them cars.
Noise can also come from badly warn cv joints, theyre mostly noticed when moving at some some speed in any direction especially with steering turned sharply ie full lock or close to it.
Best i can do without actually being there to observe when exactly it makes the sound you describe.
not 100% on your details but if your saying you can fill it in your steering wheel while stop with your foot on the break. check your power steering pump.
Aussuming the car is front wheel drive, what happens when you try to drive it? Does it drag the wheel? There is a chance it may break it free since you've gone over it with a slege hammer.
what you are describing can't be done-unless-no -the rear drive shaft will still drive the rear wheels-smart track ain't so smart. you could drop the rear drive shaft out but then you'd leak trany fluid all out the tailshaft-why not pick up rear end at the junkyard and install-cheers Denny
Check and make sure the transfer case is adjusted right If the front end was broke you would know it. Jack up one front wheel and put it in 4wheel drive but not lock and see if the front drive shaft turns if it doesn't you need to adjust linkage or if it's electric make sure the signal is getting to the transfer case. If it only locks front and rear jack up one rear wheel also and do the check. Most people with 4 wheel drive don't know they have two wheel drive One in the rear and one in the front unless you ordered a locking dif from the factory they don't come this way. Then you would have 3 wheel drive
yes exactly that, you can jack the front wheels clear of the ground. Put the front wheels on stands and take the rear tailshaft off at the gear box end, start it up put in both 1st and reverse and look underneath to see weather the uni-joint at the gearbox is spinning. It could well possibly be that you have been just driving around in front-wheel drive with the rear wheels doing very little!
it could be the joint in the c/v axle. or it could be that you have something loose in the steering linkage. i would not advise you to drive it until it is inspected. better safe than sorry.
I doubt it. I heard the same noise from my old Accord when the CV boot was going out. If you heard breaking from the drive shaft I believe the next thing you'd see is it rolling down the street. If the drive shaft were making that sound you would not be able to continue driving.
