Re: what causes "tire scrubbing" on tight turns?

If it is the AWD binding, take your car to an empty parking lot and begin doing a lot of figure 8s with the steering lock to lock. Increase the speed as much as reasonable to get some extra torque. After 15 min. of this any binding should be relieved, unless you have a bad solenoid or some other problem. AWD binding is common especially on cars which are not driven a lot.
