''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

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
