Grinding noise from front of Suberban?

if this truck is two wheel drive then the noise coming from your front end is more than likely a wheel bearing gone bad in which case you should not drive it because the wheel bearing may come apart and the wheel will fall off...if ti is a four wheel drive then the other answerers are correct in telling you it is a cv joint broken.....either way you risk damaging your vehicle even further and more importantly yourself and your baby.....in a suburban when your cv joints bust there is generally a reason as these are rather heavy duty joints....make sur the shop you take it to finds the cause of the problem as well....ps dont endanger yourself or your baby ....HAVE IT TOWED

The front of the vehicle needs to be repaired -- sounds like CV joint axels of which there are two. I have a shop in my town that repairs only axels and can fix the car in about 2 hours. Look in the phone book or take it to the dealership. Go in the morning so it can be repaired by the afternoon. Or use a taxi. Military wives have to be independent and make friends so they can get help on the base by other military wives. There is more than one garage in your area-- use the dealership and do not worry your husband with phone calls that there is trouble at home. The car needs repair nothing that you can not do. Me a 21 year veteran.

Sounds like a bad CV joint in one of the axle shafts.

Or... it could be something related to the steering linkage but if you are hearing it while you drive, it's either in the moving parts of the drive-train or something in the brakes, like a stuck caliper or totally worn brake pads. These are all just typical wear and tear items. It's nothing you did wrong.

I feel bad for you. You women left behind should have support groups to help you. It's just not right.

If you were using the brakes at the time it sounds like the pads are metal to metal with the brake rotors. I would not dive this until it was checked out be a mechanic.

I would be safe and have it towed. Something let loose in the front end and you don't want to get in an accident if it gets real bad.
