..............but as I'm a girl it's allowed.

My 6 month old Liberty has develeoped an intermittent noise when turning
right (and very very occaisionally left). I can only describe it as a cross
between a grinding noise and a whine. I can feel a very slight vibration
through the steering wheel as well. Sometimes it happens a lot, then I can
go for days with nothing, I can't even figure out what brings it on. Every
time I have take in to the dealership it doesn't happen (of course!!!) even
if it has been doing it a lot that day. They say until they can hear it
they wont be able to tell what it is. Does anybody have any clues? Is this
a common Liberty problem??

I am not sure if the Libby has a Full Time 4WD mode or not, but if it does
and you use it, then the trouble sounds to be related to this. If it hasn't
got, or yours does not have, Full Time 4WD but you have selected 4HI and are
driving on the street, then this IS the problem. Your Libby (assuming you
only have Part Time 4WD) is not intended to be driven in 4WD on any surface
other than SOLID SNOW OR ICE, or dirt and gravel. If there is any sign of
asphalt, then do not use 4WD.

I should have said, I am in the UK and have a 2.8 CRD which has Selec Trac.
Most of the time I keep it in 2 wheel drive, but I get the noise in 2 wheel
drive or 4 wheel full time. I've never tried it in 4 wheel part time or 4
wheel low as I've never been on the cirrect surface to try.
