grinding noise

[BldrRover]

I was out wheeling in Lefthand Canyon on Big Mama Hill this weekend. As I was backing down a section to take another shot at it, I heard a really nasty metal on metal grinding sound coming from the left front wheel. I was running the rod mod in "offroad" height and running 265/65 18 Hankook Dynapro tires. I was at full lock. I heard it more than once and then haven't heard or felt anything since. Ideas???

sounds like a stone rubbing against your rotor

Hmmm, that actually could be. That would be better than something expensive... I like that answer.

Uh...have you gotten your head in that wheel well and looked around?

How busy was Lefthand? Haven't been there in years because it's always been overrun. Even Carnage Canyon, when it was open.

Hope you find your problem.

I heard similar metalic grinding noise and when I took it into the shop they told me I needed a new differential and replaced it under original manufacturer's warranty free of charge.
