''grinding or rubbing'' noise please help with ideas
Okay, I just had a 6'' suspension *procomp* installed.
I noticed it vaugly when i pulled off the parking lot from the installer *after he had it alligned*. there were 2 noises that I am hearing. again.. this is *AFTER THE LIFT WAS INSTALLEZD* I only have 11k miles on the truck
Noise #1
1. a ''grinding noise'- this only happens when im comming to a creeping stop, and when i sowly pull foward (after about 3 mph it goes away)
-it only happens when the truck is in Drive, goes away in nutural/reverse/park
-when i put my hand on the front axle, and just put allittle pressure on the boot, the grinding goes away
-tire is NOT rubbing anywhere, except if i were to do a full turn right/left which only happens if im parking somewhere
-what the hell could that be? axle is slightly popped out of socket?
Noise #2
2. again, i heard it after i got my truck back, but wrote it off as just 'new parts that need to be warn in'' - its sporatic driving down a normal road/interstate, but anytime you are to hit a bump, i hear a 'metal on metal' coliding sound *this is in the front*.
- I cannot maniuplate this sound, when i stand on the side of my truck and rock it right to left
- I really have no clue on to what the sound could be comming from
-there is no wable on tires
-steering wheel does not wabble
I live in the north east texas area, but im working right now on a 50k acre ranch 2 miles from the border of mexico. The roads are extremly rough, so im able to hear the 'bang' with every bump.
really, im just more nervous on making a 590 mile trip back home if this is something that could cause a accident on the road.
what are some ideas for this?
again, both of these noises are in the front, im hoping they are related, but i doubt they are

I think they are both related to the lift. Something is not right, not reassembled correct or out of allignment. Not sure what all was changed in the lift but grinding I would think has to be coming from the front axles....

bump-
im still on a job in a border town, and have not got to go anywhere to get it checked out..
do you think i should just go to a dealership and drop it off, and tell them to fix it? its really starting to bother me..
also, anybody have any procomp lift pics from behind the truck? i want to compare something

What side is it coming from? Left, right or both? The front disc brake backing plates need to be trimmed to fit the new steering knuckles. Maybe it wasn't trimmed enough or was bent slightly and is contacting the rotor?
