So tonight I was driving and came to a stop sign. It was a busy road and I had to sneak out. So I accelerated kind of quick with the wheel turned and it made this terrible grinding noise. I drove around a bit to try and listen. It only does it when I accelerate fast with the wheel turned. It doesn't seem to do it when I'm not taking off quick. Any ideas? Thanks

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.

I only pushed the button. I've tried holding it before and it never chimes out anything. I don't know if mines not able to be completely turned of or what...?

I have heard that feature wasn't available in 2005 but never confirmed for myself...are you in park when you press/hold the button?
You could also try taking out the fuse to disable the system and give it a shot. You'll have some warnings on the dash but thats not a problem for quick trouble shooting
Yea i tried it in park. Would taking the fuse out like reset the system or something?

No it'll just disable the system so it doesnt engage the brakes.... which is probably what you're hearing
Ok, I'll pull the fuse and try to see if it still does it. Any idea where the fuse is off hand? I'm sure its in my manual somewhere.
