Transfer Case - Help !

Hi !
Please,I need help.
1999 ML320 - What is wrong?
On max turn left or right - coming noise - some peoples call chatterening.
This is the problem of Transfer Case or front - CV joints.
I am just confused.
On 1999 Transfer Case ratio was change from 50/50 to 52/48.
What I need replace to make working properly.
torque split f / r after 10-19-98 48 - 52

Best Regards

have the dealer check the side sensors for the sway of the car. it sounds like the esp thinks you are fishtaling and the front brakes are applied by the sensors.

chattering

the noise is coming from the transfer case. the dealership does have a updated planetary gear setup for the transfer case. which cures the problem.

ML320
Any word of a recall on transfer case issues regarding ML320 1999? Mine is starting to make noise at the 1-2 mph speed. Are bearings most likely the cause or this planetary gear mentioned above? Why is there an update the dealership has for the problem? Thanks in advance for any information...

Regards.
