Turning the wheels and the shaft turning is normal. unless you lost the differential. You have to check the transfer case. If your's is a manual case, then something inside or the linkage is broke. If it is electrical. then it needs trouble shooting. Could be a switch, wiring, or the motor. Could also be internal.
Jack the car up put you hand on the 12 and 6 o'clock position and try to rock the tire if it moves it is a bad wheel baring if it squeaks when applying the brakes it can be the pads are worn out if it clicks I can be the half drive shaft if it is a drive shaft run one way if it is quit it is ithe inside it will be noisy if you make circles the other direction then there are the strut towers that can squeak hope this helps
If you contact http://www.stokke.com/en-gb/contact-us.aspx you should be able to purchase this part. This is called the bumper bar and attaches in front of the seat unit.
ALternatively, any retailer that stocks Stokke products should be able to order this for you.
Hi
I am onto my third Phil and Teds Vibe due to issues with the front wheel. It never ever worked smoothly from the moment it was assembled. The first time the UK distributors Outnabout replaced the pin - no help. The next time they replaced the entire no buggy. The new buggy is exactly the same - stiff front wheel that is back breaking to turn and squeaks loudly. Interestingly, I am waiting for Outnabout to send some lubricant that Phil and Teds have recommended; despite being told by the retailer in no uncertain terms NOT to use lubricant. I plan to return the third and final buggy and ask for a full refund or partial refund and replacement with a Sports buggy model. The wheel mechanism is different on that one. Good luck. As you can see, I am all out of answers.
If you have the time, take the vehicle to an autoshop of your choice, and ask them to grease all fittings on the front end. My car did the exact same thing, it was the ball joints. You may need a new ball joint, but being a 2009, I highly doubt it unless its been in an accident or something. There are grease fittings on the front, I believe there should be at least 5, maybe more, but the sound you are experiencing is the equivalant to a pogo stick if I'm correct. Hope that helps.
Yes it could be the wheel bearing. After stopping, see if the wheel itself is hot to the touch (like burn your hand hot) if so, take it to the shop right away...unless you plan to change out the wheel bearings yourself.
