Yes i used a timken hub. And yea ive had the trac active came out a couple times before but that was when the cars tires came spinning off the line and such. Now its grinding because the sensor is shorted. The codes are the same two codes.

I have this. What do I need to replace? It only will do it very rarely when I first put it into gear. But I don't have a service traction soon light ever.

Most likely you have the same issue i did. Id say take it to an autozone or something to pinpoin exactly which wheel it is. Then change both the wheel hub and the harness as well. Itll save you time and the headache. Mine was the right front at first and i changed just the hub. Well that didnt fix it and after while i was changing the other hub and both harnesses the left front was bad as well so i was glad i changed all of it. So get the codes checked first
