02 SE AWD strange rubbing noise?
Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to let me know if this is something that I should take to have looked at or if it’s normal. Essentially, here’s the setup: I pull onto a road from a stop sign, making a right turn onto a road that is going uphill. So when I do this (actually did it to test if the AWD would engage) in rainy conditions I see the indicator light come on and then I feel the front wheels engage. But at the same time, I hear a weird almost grinding sound somewhere beneath my feet. I have no idea how to really describe it. But I’m assuming that this isn’t normal. What I was wondering is could this be a result of the unusual angle of turning onto a road that is going uphill when the AWD engages. I really appreciate any help that anyone may be able to provide with this.
Regards,
Brady

Is that just one click, or is that continuing grinding noise?
If first situation is the case, than it's normal. If noise continues after AWD is engaged, you definitely will need to look into that.
