    Driver side grinding noise

    I’ve got a 2017 crew cab short bed. 13,600 miles. Wtf could it be. Took it to the dealer . They heard the noise and said don’t know what it is hear is your truck . Smh. It’s sitting in a different dealer now . Any clues what it could be. No lift kit. All stock except mm3 tuner and 5” flo pro. So when I turn left I can feel and hear it grinding in the front driver side. But just turning left. Down hill or up hill

    4 wheel drive? Might look at the drive axle u-joint. Rock stuck in the disc brake shroud? Caliper hung up? I'd pull the wheel off and give it a spin, before I'd take it to a shop and spend $$$.

    If you are turning left, it would be the right side. The body sway and weight is put on that side. Not the left. Could be a few things, as mentioned already and maybe a wheel bearing too. That few miles, it's a remote chance the tire is cupping too.

    What happens in 4 wheel drive?

    Also I can feel it in the gas pedal. To me sound and feels like a chain in a meat grinder when it happens. I just picked it up from the dealer and they couldn’t make the noise. My Luck...

    So if you're driving down the road straight and turn the wheel slightly, left and right, the noise goes away when you turn right, but gets louder when you turn left? If so, you may have a bad wheel bearing on the right side. It doesn't have to be loose to make noise. But it's an indication it may be going bad. Even at 13,000 miles, it doesn't mean it's not bad. I've had bad ones out of the box

    How long has the 5" exhaust been on the pickup? Is it vibrating against something like the cab?

    Did you ever figure out what the problem was @ChrisOx?

    still don't know what it is. But the exhaust was put on a few days before I started hearing the noise. hummm wonder if that's the noise I hear. its not a vibrating noise I hear its more of grind. like rocks in a tin can sound nd feel.
