To diagnose noise in the front end of a four-wheel drive vehicle, start by identifying the type of noise—whether it's a clunk, grinding, or squealing. Check for issues with the CV joints, wheel bearings, or differential, as these are common sources of noise in 4WD systems. Inspect the drivetrain components for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure that all fluids are at proper levels. Finally, take the vehicle for a test drive to see if the noise changes with speed or turning, which can help pinpoint the problem.
A whining noise present when turning the steering wheel indicates a faulty power steering pump. As the pump fails, it allows air to enter the system and a distinct whine.
A loose steering belt could be the problem and so could worn out pump bearings. You could go to the Internet and type in buzzle.com Hope this helped.the website will tell you how to check your car and help guide you.
