I'm not sure if this is an actual issue, or just a specific condition that doesn't play nice with the ABS system.
So here it is:
If I brake hard enough on a surface with different amounts of traction on the driver / passenger sides, the wheel on the slick surface locks, while the other is still spinning.
This creates a grinding noise, like a large stone being dragged over top of another large stone.
I know abs pulsates when braking hard, so I suspect that the locked wheel is starting and stopping suddenly, violently twisting the two cv joints into / against each other inside the diff.
I figured the diff would allow the wheels to have different rotations with no issue, and that the ABS pulsates the left and right wheels at the same time (I think).
This has happened 2 -3 times on surfaces when the traction is about equal too, but not nearly as noticeable.
Is this normal, or am I going to need to open up my transmission?
If my question isn't clear enough, just ask for more info.
Thanks!
