Pete M Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 ??????? x2. that's a new one by me. :hmm: Are you sure the tires aren't touching anything? does it happen whenever you turn or only at full crank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfg67 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 If it sounds like metal against metal, my best guess would be your u-joint. Have they been changed before? They are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 that would have been my thought too, except that the truck in his sig is 2wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmaley79 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Happens only when turning left. I jaked up that side and the tire assembly doesnt sag any so i figure its not the bearings. So now I'm lost... when I'm driving straight it on does it if going through rough dirt roads and its wet outside. All the sound it coming from the front drivers side though..

Pete M Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 motor mounts ok? exhaust hitting the trans crossmember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmaley79 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 motor mounts are about 6 months old. I didnt see any rubbing on the exhaust. could it be control arm bushings or some thing like that? the noise sounds like something rolling across the bed of the truck..
