bad front dif?

[Gzes]

So really weird. Going on a 2 hour trip it felt like a tire blew out. Pulled over and nothing. Couldn't find anything wrong. Drove off and it was fine. Coming back almost home it did it again. Feels kinda like a hopping binding thing. Guessing the dif is about to shit on me... any ideas other than dif?

This is on my 02 escalade ext

check the emergency brakes. mine became loose and would hit/grind the rotors once in a while

 

[Gzes]

E brake never has worked since I got it. And it's coming from front end. Not a grind it's an actual shaking like if a tire blew out

Silly question, but have you tried putting it in 2wd only to see if it continues?

Could also be a bad/dry u-joint or bad/dry cv joint...?

Does it happen just when making a turn or going straight also?

 

[Gzes]

It's awd. Can't turn to 2wd. Does it going straight. No problems turning. No sound on cv axles neither. Willing to bet bearings on the dif are shot since it's had a small dif whine since I got it

What did you find out

 

[Rivieraracing]

Does the shaking change with speed and have you tried applying the brakes while in a straight line to rule out brakes causing the issue? Also, make sure you don't have any lugnuts loose

Lugs are fine. Both times it happened were on highway going 75. It's at a shop atm but they havnt even started. Getting kind of pissed. Heard good things but if they don't start on it this week I'm pulling it out and doing myself. I've got the skills to do it but I'm doing a h22 swap on one of my hondas so have my plate full

I had a problem similar to this and it was a front hub bearing
