Question

i have a 2002 gmc envoy i was having problem when i make a sharp turn left or right it seems like their's some resistance in the front wheels i thought it might have been my axle half shaft so i replaced it but i still have the same problem when i make turns some times it even seems like its trying to lock up.please help me to save some dollars .

Answer 1

Your wheels maybe the wrong size.

Answer 2

if its awd you will need to change the fluid in the transfer caseif not you will have a problem with the axle lock on the front differential

Answer 3

are your tires rubbing your wheel wells or are they stock if they were rubbing you would also hear it lock to lock only pretty much

Answer 4

it seems to me like its stuck in 4-wheel drive i am assuming it is a pushbutton 4 wheel drive system they have been known for having problems with the selector switches ,if your familiar with a 4-wheel drive system then check it out to see if the pront wheels are engaged or not...if not i would bring it to a reputable gmc repair shop so they can fix the problem....i had the same problem with my 2007 Z-71 the indicator lights said it was in HI-2 but it was really stuck in AUTO 4-drive
