So i have a 05 SCREW 2wd and i recently added some 33' tires to the mix about a month ago. recently i noticed that if im makin slow 90 degree turns like going thru a parking lot a hear a loud screech almost.. i guess you can call it a grinding noise? today i got irritated and embarrassed with the noise so i turned my wheel all the way to see if my wheels are rubbing something when making sharp turns but i didnt see anythin please help!

 

Could be the fan belt squealing.
If the tire is rubbing, you should be able to see where the contact is.

 

Really?? hmmm i think ima have my brother hop in the truck n turn the wheel both ways n i'll take a look. thanks for ur help brother! i appreciate it

 

wheel bearing???

 

thats something to look into! if it was a wheel bearing would that be something that can be lubriated or does that mean the bearing is thrashed?

thanks for ur input bud

 

Wheel bearing, I just had the same problem and I am with you its really embarrassing and extremely loud, mine would echo through my neighborhood when I came home haha. I was told it had to be replaced not just lubed.

 

AWW MAN thats no good. well im glad some ones on the same boat as me, i feel comforted now that i know whats wrong with my baby. i think im going to get that fixed ASAP cuz i cant take it anymore! theres nuthing worse than pullin into a parking lot in a sexy f150 and have ur ride screech at people lol im sure u feel me! thanks alot brother!
