Little help please

[sheepherda]

So I installed my LC coils in the rear yesterday. Going to install the TRD Tundra setup in the front tomorrow right now its still stock. I drove it around the neighborhood to make sure it was ok. I noticed when I would turn my steering wheel right at all, I would hear something that sounded like it was grinding or metal on metal friction. When I would be straight or turning left no noise. I know I should go ahead and install the front and try it but I thought I would ask before digging into it more.

Will installing the TRD fix this?
Do you think it could be the bearings or Ujoint and why only when I turn right?

are you sure its not something rubbing up from from the crazy rake you have right now?? check that first, i cant think of anything that would be doing that after putting in LC's (what kind of shocks did you use?) unless you didnt do something right.. but still check a fender flare, uca? etc rubbing on the tire

I, for one, demand pics of LC coils and stock front end...

Here is a pic of the lc and stock. I got the TRD setup installed in the front yesterday. It is still making a noise when turning right. Sounds like it is coming from the back. It's not loud but sounds like something is rubbing barely.

Dumb question.... could the E-Brake be on?? Might also be helpful if you post pics of the undercarriage. Particularly everything you replaced......

 

[sheepherda]

The e-brake is not on. It does almost sound like the brake is on. The funny part is that it only does it when I turn right. I will get some pictures up later today of the undercarriage.

Rear swaybar link? Are your LC coils seated correctly on the bottom wrap?

 

[absalom]

Have you gotten aligned yet? I remember, my truck was all sorts of messed up (driveline vibrations, super weird noises, etc) after I installed my lift and before I got aligned. I wouldn't worry until you do the front and get to the shop.

Btw, that looks hilarious with LC in rear and stock up front!

So yesterday I lifted the front end and did my brakes. Busy day! I thought it would be a good idea to get an alignment done and went to do it on my lunch break. Figured it would take about 45 minutes to do and would get back in time. Well long story short they broke my tie rod. First replacement was wrong part and ended up waiting for another hour to get the second. I got it installed for free as well as a free oil change. Needless to say, I didn't make it back to work today. Also not real sure if it aligned correctly. Will drive it some more to see how it feels.

I still have a noise coming from the rear of the truck when I am turning right while driving. Sounds like something rubbing. I will have to investigate more.

I thought it would be funny to post the pics of LC/Stock.

That's awesome. The pic makes it look like you're in a constant state of nose dive from slamming on the brakes.

Any chance the noise is coming from the rear diff/gears?

Glad to see someone else from TN. I grew up in Memphis.

 

[sheepherda]

I am pretty sure it is not the rear diff. I would think it would be making the noise all the time if that were the case. I know the fluids are good on it. Checked them yesterday.

 

[Nashvegas34]

You're probably right, I was just thinking more along the lines of there being some binding going on in the diff since you said it happens only while turning (and only right).

Could it be your DS hitting your gas tank skid?

What did you do with the panhard bar after the LC install? Did you drop or extend it?

No I did not do anything with the panhard. Definantly going to have to look into it. I hope it is something as simple as this. It's a good call and I will look into. They are not the super tall LC coils they were 19 tall some of the smaller ones. Color code Pur Pur, light blue, white or yellow. I must have gotten some bad info on the LC coils bc I thought it would not need the panhard drop.

 

[sheepherda]

I think I might have it figured out. It appears when I was putting on the lift I bent the dust cover on the rear drivers side. Now to unbend it and give it a shot.
