Crunching/Grinding noise

Hi all,

I noticed last night while driving my 4.8is that when I pull up to a slightly inclined curb (as in driving into a gas station where you dont do a full turn but you kinda pull your car up sideways to go to the first pump), i hear a crunching/grinding sound up front and my car seems to brake.

Has anybody experienced this? what could be wrong? Axles? Front diff?

Thanks,

i'm thinking a cv boot shit the bed without you knowing....now you may need a new axle on that side...perhaps could be causing some seizing!

Weasel or Meister could probably nail this one down for you!
