Nasty sound on right turn

[dave4242]

I also get a beeping alarm sound (?skid sensor) when i get the noise on turning. Could this be related?

Had the exact same problem. Took it to the dealer and as it turns out the bump stop was actually out of place. They repositioned it and put some grease on it. Fixed the problem right away. So... you may need to see if the bump stop is out of spec from where it should be.

Loud grinding noise when making a sharp right. Will try greasing the steering stops.

Not constant in my case, only if I turn does it happen once when I back up, or maybe hit a bump too hard. Zero leaks, some say its a Ball Joint, or the Steering; I don't want to take all my skids off just to find out that it was the skid-plates shifting.

Don't mean to bump an old thread, but just want to say that where ever the original posters are, I hope you're living a healthy life and still rockin' a 4Runner.
