Description of the problem	When i was driving, 3 dashboard lights came on: the wrench, the abs light, and the low traction. When i turned left, the right rear wheel grabbed and made a grinding sound. There was also a higher pitched noise that sounded like metal striking metal. The mechanic has stated that the tone ring broke on the right rear drive axle, and this is a common ford problem. When it broke, it damaged the brake unit on my right rear wheel as well. The repair isn't cheap - i wish i would have known this was a possibility when i bought the vehicle.
