Q: Front driver's side axel issues
While driving there is a grinding noise coming from the front driver's side tire. The also suddenly pulls to the right while driving. After jacking up the car I inspected the tire, finding the tire to be very stable. I also found you could rotate the tire almost 360 degrees which I found odd for a front wheel drive. Would that be a wheel HUD or an axel issue
