Weird rubbing noise?

[rossgoldie]

I just installed my new SS 1.2 suspension and now I am getting a weird rubbing noise when I turn left and right, It gets louder based on how tight the turn is and the frequency of ticks of the noise is based off how fast the truck is going. I have absolutely no clue what this is. When it started two days ago it was just when I turned left but now it is when I turn right and left. The rubbing noise is kind of a dry, squeaking noise. Anyone have an idea what this might be? I know 100% that it isnt tire rub for sure.

If you know for sure it is not your tires, I'd recommend checking your CV boots for abnormal wear. The new angle will put the fins closer and may affect the noise they produce, especially after lift.

Even with a differential drop the boots will be at a weird angle? I'll make sure to go check asap though

The diff "drop" kinda only a little drops it, but rather changes the angle in which the front drive shaft connects.

I wouldn't worry too much about the CV boots, unless of course they are torn. Since its lifted if they are old boots that could be a likely future scenario, but they are fairly easy to replace (just kinda time consuming).

Yea the clams on the end of my boots started leaking grease but some hose clamps fixed that right up. My boots are not the originals so I dont have to worry about them ripping (so far). Thanks so much for the input!
