Awful Grinding Noise.. What The Hell Its It?

[Matt]

I forget, what are some of the specs of your jeep? Lift/tire/wheels/spacers/QDII?

Try turning traction control off and see if it makes the noise?

Its an 05 Laredo, 3.7 Qt1. Ive only got the JBA front leveling spacer with stock size AT's and Spidertrax spacers on a set of XK wheels. I did try turning off the traction control and it still made the noise. My first thought was that it sounded like when the the traction control kicks in when driving in snow. Def sounds like its in the front end. Like I said its only when the wheels are turned, and it seems like the steering wheel has to be turned beyond 3/4 turn.

Did you just push the button to turn off the traction control, or hold it in for 5 seconds and wait for the chime? With the extra track of the spacers you have changed the bump radius of your front end and it will also act to kick in the TC earlier. Id say its the TC.
