Default Possible grinding

Recently I can feel what seems to be grinding at low speeds. It doesn't matter whether I am turning or going straight. It seems to be coming from the front, possibly front left and I can feel it in the pedal and it feels like rotational grinding. It does not make a noise, and I cant feel it at any other time. Truck drives fine outside of this and it does not always happen. Any suggestion?

2015 King ranch 4x4 3.5L

Thanks

Lee

When was the last time you checked your brake pad wear?

pads are fairly new, 6-8k miles, rotor looks smooth from the outside, I have not had the opportunity to take the tire off and look yet. I did crawl under the truck and everything look okay, no leaks, boots all look good.

Are your slide pins allowing the calipers to move? If they are corroded and not lubricated properly they can cause the brake pad to drag on the rotor and can make a noise.

How about drivelines? Front and back. Your KR has 4A so the front driveline will slowly rotate even in 2H and you might only notice it going real slow when other background noises are less.

I am gonna have to look at the brakes this weekend and check that, I do have the 4a although I have never felt this in the past and it’s quite noticeable when it happens. I am concerned there is an issue with the 4A, although I keep it off.

Engage 4A and see if the noise goes away.

I'm having the same issue. Mechanic thinks it's the ABS Module.
