Bad grinding noise that actually binds up the vehicle so it won't go. Sound like brakes but have already replaced brakes, wheel bearings, front axle arms, new tires, and checked the gear, the awd light, traction control lights flash and beep

Wheel bearings, brakes binding, rear axle etc etc etc
Have a look . Jack up the vehicle or take it to a garage for inspection.

Hit in the rear axle may have damaged bearings or brake parts. Jack up the side you hear noise from, put on stand, then have helper rotate wheel while you look underneath and listen to see where noise is coming from. Use length of old fuel or heater hose, one end in ear, to locate exactly where noise comes from.

Check the front brake rotor. When the brake pads wear down too far they will make a grinding noise. I am not sure what sound the axle makes when they begin to wear out. I would check the boot that covers the axle joint for any damage.

jack up front left on level ground ,support and chock rear wheels and set park brake ---look and check the cv axle for leaks,tears or damage -put in neutral and watch axle should turn smoothly turn steering wheel to left and rotate tire again watching axle if their is binding or grinding or studder movement than axle is damaged and needs to be replaced

Wierd Wheel Noises:

New bearing is actually good? Take wheel off of the ground, vehicle in neutral and rotate the wheel by hand and see that there are no problems with the bearing, CV Axle, or the brakes. And put some pressure on the bearing as much as you can to make sure it is not binding itself.

More than one bearing has been damaged during installation. I now own a 10 ton press and keep it in my basement for the next time I have to replace my bearings. Thank goodness I always buy in pairs.

Here's to hoping you just identified your problem.

If not, then: Have someone turn the wheel in both directions while watching the CV Axle at both ends, to make sure it isn't the problem.

One more issue: Swap your tires front to rear, and rear to front, and drive to see if your noise changed locations, indicating a tire or wheel problem.

If everything you just checked is working properly, then you know what's next.

Good luck !

take a look at the front drive axle joints and also wheel bearings. this noise may be due to a bad ujoint and as you turn the joint binds up and makes noise, same as a bad wheel bearing. the wheel bearing would make more of a grinding noise as it doesnt hold the wheel and brake rotor in place and the rotor may be hitting the caliper bracket so i would start by checking this stuff first. good day.

maybe axle or bearing . is the brake shield bent hitting anything? is their any sign of something rubbing inside or rim can you see any marks

Sounds like a wheel bearing.

They used to do that as "normal" when they had universal joints on the axle ends...I believe you have c/v joints there...If one has gone bad, it's possible that is causing the same problem...Check the boots on the wheel end of the axles...If they are torn, it's a good indication that the joint has gotten contaminated with road dirt and has failed. The hubs are actually a sealed double roller bearing that's used in place of the old style individual roller bearings. If it is really bad, it can bind but usually rumbles and causes a vibration in the wheel at speed. It is located inside the steering knuckle where the axle passes through, and is part of the flange that your wheel bolts to. With the brakes and rotor removed if you feel any roughness when you turn that flange then the bearing is bad...Don't forget turning by hand is far less demanding than turning with the vehicle weight on it so any roughness is magnified far beyond what you feel.

Check wheel bering for play if there is no play , it doesn't mean that bearing is NOT bad its can still be dry and would be making that grinding sound you described Also check axle and see if boot is broken. That may be your problem also make sure that rotors are not gouged/scraped up and pads are good.Contact if you need more help and thanks for using FIX YA
