the other day after a snow fall and icey conditions i was stopped at a red light, when the light turned green i started accelerating nice and easy and of course due to the weather conditions i started spinning.

anyway when the traction control kicked it there was some major "crunching" sounds coming from the front end, has anyone heard this, is it normal for this ( the "crunching" happens when ever i spin, T/C on or off it doesnt matter).

Im wondering so when i go have it looked at I'll have some idea what im talking about. i have owned other trucks with T/C and no other vehicle ive driven does this???

comments anyone.

Thanks

the truck is a 2010 FX4 screwcab

 

You need to post what your vehicle is, because we don't know.

 

aahhh sorry i guess that would help eh....

2010 F-150 4x4 ( fx4 ) screwcab

 

Does it sound like ABS?? If so mine does it.

 

Sounds normal to me, mine does this once I really start getting loose. If you don't have the LS this is what is making both back tires spin.

 

yeah thats right, it totally sounds like the ABS. i just thought it was really strange that it was coming from the front end instead of the rear.

i wonder what it is

 

That's where the ABS mechanism is - under the hood. The traction control does kick the ABS in.

 

If you are still under warranty i would take it to ford, because that doesn't sound
like something you need to let go for too long.
