I heard a slight grinding noise, that sounded like a brake dragging. I replaced brakes all the way around, and that didn't stop the noise. I then replaced all the wheel bearings, this did not help either. I tried the u-joints with no luck. I was talking to the person that I got the vehicle from and was told that the rear end had been rebuilt twice! This was before I got the vehicle, and it only had 67000 on it when I got it. Since then I have talked to many yukon owners, and they have had the same issues.
