In the process of changing tires, so I have my stock rims on now. Noise is still there. I guess this confirms it's not rubbing issues. Did anybody find out what causes this and if it needs to be fixed?

My FX4 does this too when I make a turn and hit a slight bump on the road or an uneven surface. Sounds like it's bottoming out, definitely a scary sound to hear. My truck is completely stock too.
I notice taking a turn like that slower will keep it from happening, but sometimes when traffic is heavy and I'm trying to get into the place where this is happening, I can't afford to take it lightly.

Same here, happens at aprons turning in regardless of direction. Sounds like a mount or something metal on metal. Doesn't sound mechanical or anthing, sounds more like a blown motor mount or mount going bad. really weird. 2010 screw 4x4 lariat with 20s. less than 10k on it.

I drove around like a mad man today to reproduce the noise and it is ONLY when the truck is DOWNSHIFTING. Now this does occur mostly approaching a turn but it can be a slight turn and is at the EXACT time of downshift EVERY TIME. Any more suggestions? I am 99.99 sure it is not rubbing. When it downshifts it grinds and one does not occur without the other......

Ok boys he seem to be the problem "according to the dealer". I bought a 2010 HD 4x2. I noticed that when I would make a sharp left hand turn or a u turn and I would hit a bump(escpecially when entering or exiting driveways or shopping center I would hear a real loud grinding clunking noise. When I took it into the dealer the stated that it was that the steering stops were not greased properly from factory. So with that being said I no longer have the noise. Its sounds a little odd that only a little grease would stop the noise. It sounded like the truck was about to fall apart. Call ur dealer and explain this and lets see. Hope this helps>>>>>>

Now that's funny! I just got mine back from the dealer too yesterday and they said the same thing! I guess time will tell. I have a hard time thinking that a "Grinding"noise can be cured by just some grease? I have a 2010 4X4 lariat with the level kit and after market tires and rims that the dealer put on. They kept telling me it had to be tire rub. I printed out this whole thread and finally brought all the pages in to show them. I got it back and they greased these fittings as well. I haven't had a chance to drive around much but so far no grind. But as we know if you have this issue it doesn't happen all the time. I will continue to follow this thread and see what unfolds. Keep up all the good work guys. It's nice to have a place to go to like this for questions and this time I am able to add something in stead of asking!

I can to cut the bottom spoiler when I first got it but that is normal for the tires and was a different noise anyway. They kept telling me it had to be tire rub.

Interesting, I get it now and then and I really just thought it was TC. It sounded like the ABS Break was being applied. Is there a way to disable traction control??
