After vehicle was taken out of 4-wheel drive, a couple of days later, left front wheel started to grind. The grinding increased as the vehicle would reach speeds of 35 mph or below and would intensive as I would apply the brakes. Was informed by dealer that this was a re-occurring problem with this vehicle.
While driving 65 mph heard a grinding sound from left front wheel. Then, 3 loud clicks. She pulled over to check wheel, and was able to move left front tire back and forth with both hands about 2 inches. She then drove at a slow speed to nearest dealer. Dealer replaced dust boots on both front wheels/ replaced bearings, and both ends of axle. On the way home after this repair, vehicle made same noise again. Vehicle at dealer at this time. Dealer stated this was a known problem on 2000 Sportage.
