well if tire marks were at rear was rear tires if marks behind front then front tires stopped didnt state if vehicle was still mobile --can wheels turn or attempt when in gear --reason both brakes rarely stop together -usually something in powertrain engine seizure --trans failure/lock up can cause double wheel lock up
sounds like a suspension rubber or a ball joint gone bad, they should have picked up a worn ball joint during the wheel alignment, but not all aligner's are alike
One wheel turning faster than the other is normal if both wheels are off the ground. If one wheel is dragging when the other wheel is on the ground, it could be brakes or a wheel hub bearing. Usually if the noise happens on right turns, the left hub bearing is failing, and vice versa.
Providing that the c/v joints are in good condition, the dealers diagnosis sounds reasonable. However, changing two tires may not solve the problem. In reality the rolling circumference of all four tires must match. Mating two new tires to two partially worn tires may get you closer but still not where you should be. In four wheel drive vehicles, this situation becomes more critical because the transfer case cannot operate properly when front tires are going at a different speed than the rear ones. This can cause the t case to fail (far worse than your problem) Owners of 4x4's generally change all four tires even getting down to matching production lot #s when possible to ensure exact diameter match up. Tire sizes also vary from manufacturer to manufacturer same #s are not always the same size! Therefore using two tires of a different brand can cause a problem as well. I haven't "cured" anything, but I hope this gives you a better understanding of what you are dealing with. good luck.
its probably your bump stops. the vw ones are very soft. i bought ford escort (the shape after the xr3) ones and cut them a little down to fit. i think the noise is either your shock touching or the sound of the tire scraping the body of the car. hope this helps.
