new(to me) truck, slight grind
Hey guys,
Recently purchased a 2010 screw 4x4 and it has been fantastic. Probably 5 times now when turning left and going over a slight bump I feel a grind like sensation that appears to be coming from the front driver side. I can feel it in the brake/gas pedals. It is very short and not very loud, I think it happens when the front left is compressed and then releases(if that makes sense).
I could be way off base here but from what I've gathered it could be front wheel bearing or possible 4x4 trying to engage? The truck does have a level on it(not sure the exact dimensions) and is running 275/60/r18.
I don't think theres any way it could be a rub because this has happened when not ever close to full crank.
Any thought/info would be much appreciated!

I have the same thing happen on my '09 but sounds like the passenger side. I think it is the traction/stability control kicking on for a brief moment. I attribute it to the 33" tires on my truck.

I believe my tires are roughly 33" as well. I hesitate to chalk it up to TCS or ABS due to the speed(slow) and conditions(driveways) where this has happened.
