Default Metal on Metal Rub

I was looking up under my TRX 4x4 truck and found where the spindle and lower control arm are hitting and rubbing together at full turn. The metal is ground down and it stands out. I am wondering if any of you guys have seen this. If you have it, it will be seen on the back side of the lower control arm or A arm (not sure of the part name) and the back bottom side of the spindle down low. If you crawl under the drivers door and look at the back side of the spindle you will see it if its there. I am trying to figure out if other 4x4 trucks have this or just the trucks with the front leveling kits. I can text or email some pictures if someone will post them (I have no computor skills lol) just pm me. Thanks.

my 2007 did this before and after the leveling kit. It was 4x4 I haven't seen it yet on my 09 but it is 2wd. I never even worried about it. I just thanked god that the newer dodges didn't turn as wide as the past ones.

I have it. I am not going to worry right now, but I am going to make sure it does not get worse.
