Strange noise from my suspension..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just a quick pick your brain question... When I turn right I get like a rubbing squeaky sound from the driver's front. It ONLY happens when turning left.
Ive checked EVERYTHING and its not hitting or rubbing anywhere.... any suggestions?
The truck is dropped 5.5/7 with a disk brake conversion in the front....

Make sure the hub is tight, and check the ball joints. That's my first thought....

I FINALLLLLLY figured it out. My rear track was off... the rear driverside inner tire would rub everytime I had a little body roll.... It actually got so hot it burnt the paint on on the inner wheel well. My buddy noticed the burnt paint....

Grats on the find. Did you install an adjustable panhard bar to remedy that?

Thanks for sharing the answer. It might help the next guy that has a similar problem.

Actually.... I had installed the adjustable panhard bar when I did the rear suspension.... I thought I had it pretty close... but I was wrong. It was a 5 min fix... and now im having to replace the tire.
