Q: Wheel well noises and trouble turning
There's a strong squeaking noise coming from the driver side wheel well when the car is rolling. Sound decreases when accelerating hard or braking. Loudness is same whether windows are up or down. On the opposite side theres a harsher more of a grinding noise that comes sometimes when idling but mainly when turning. Also when turning sometimes i find the wheels get stuck and need extra force to finish a turn. It switches between left and right side that gets stuck. Thank you!

AWD light stays on 2009 Nissan Murano
Hello - check the fuse(s) for your AWD (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-all-wheel-drive-works) first.
