    So thats one thing I notice last night was back and turning to right while backing and moving forward, it felt as though steering wheel was skipping or bumping but very slight, didn't notice it again though. was kind of odd. no suspension upgrades or lifts. Brakes and rotors were done about 25k ago and l looked at rotors last night, seem fine no bad wear or grooves.

    Too many, but not enough....
    I would check your steering rack connections and see if you see any leaks. Check out the fluid too.

    power steering has fluid and no noticeable leaks. I will crawl under and look at steering rack connections. but would this cause the engine to bog down feeling during noise the after 20mph everything is good?

    Probably not unless the power steering pump is like semi seized or something weird like that. Did you ever get a steering rack recall notice? I forget what years it affected.

    no I haven't. I did try to look at recalls but only one I found was for the rear bumper.

    Do a drain and fill of your rear diff. Check for metal.

    can I ask why the rear diff? Only ask cause noise is in front and engine hesitation.

    Driveline noise is tricky and can sound like it's coming from somewhere it isn't. I've chipped a tooth on a ring gear and lost power like you described...it felt like engine hesitation. It's worth a quick little release of the plug then looking at the fluid for metal.

    Sounds like what it would do if you had 4WD engaged. Which would be suspicious for CV’s or front diff.

    So what I have found so far is the passenger rear speed sensor was showing active. so pulled it out and found diff oil all over sensor. so I am assuming maybe this could be the issue. causing ABS to fault out. Maybe I am wrong but going to try this first. So do I change bearing out as well when I switch out inner seal on axle or do I clean everything inside and just put it back together.
