This is really hard to explain in words but I will try. I have a 2006 supercrew 2wd, I put a 2 1/2" HBS leveling kit on about 3 or 4 months ago, after taking off my lowering kit. I have had no issues since doing so, other than needing new tires which are hopefully coming soon but yesterday when driving, really only turning, not curves but turns off main roads in parking lots or drive ways my front suspension started making this awful noise like metal rubbing together, it is not constant but it also does not sound like something is on the rim as it is more frequent than that. I kinda sounds like the coil spring is just stressed but worse. I have looked under neath as much as I can without putting it on my father in law's lift he has but I don't think it will do it if there is no weight on it. I am hopefully taking it by the shop tomorrow or Saturday but would like to have some kind of ideas before i go. it is so loud that I was talking to my wife on the phone and she could hear it on her end. I did not drive it today but won't have the luxury of an extra car for much longer. Thanks for any help and sorry for the long post!

 

not even any ideas?

 

It does not do it when you turn the wheel sharpe when you are stoped? You don't have CV joints. Try the sway bar bushings maybe that or your tie rods. Not many people lower then take off and lift. Good Luck

 

Re torque everything. I had a loose sway bar end link to the lower A arm when I installed my 2" S spacer. I re torqued and no noise.

 

x2 i would have all the bolts looked at! it is most likely something that is loose

 

I dropped it off at the shop this morning, they rode with me and think it is the wheel bearings, but on these trucks those are built into like the rotors and all which were replaced like 3 or 4 months ago, but they still have it and checking everything out for me so hopefully they can handle it today for me. thanks for the ideas guys

 

Turns out it was the wheel bearing, shop covered it. Woo Hoo!!
