F150Hawk

Hello all, Great forum! I purchased a 2010 F150 XLT two days ago and noticed a problem while driving home this evening. When making a left turn from one street to another (90 degrees) where there is a dip in between, like a gutter, I hear a very noticeable grinding sound coming from the front suspension when the front wheels hit the dip. I have been able to duplicate it about 50% of the time that I have tried to do so and it seems to be getting louder. Other than that, the truck runs great.

Any thoughts? I HATE it when I have a problem like this with something so new. Any help would be very much appreciated.

By the way, I did a search and found others with a similar problem. Some suggested that it had to do with the Traction Control kicking in, due to larger tires. I don't have larger tires, so I have ruled that out.

Another thread suggested that it is the Steering Radius Stop Pads, but I am not not even close to turning my wheel the the stop point when this is occurring.

Any other ideas? I couldn't find any other threads that addressed this problem.

I just checked my truck and I do not have any of the Stop Pads as shown in some of the other threads. No obvious signs of grinding either. I am at a loss.
