So I've had my 2009 F150 4x4 SCREW for about a month, just made my first payment actually... Anyways, when I turn (slowly, coming off a stop sign *rolling stop* or something 10mph or less) it almost seems as if my tires are scrubbing, but when I look I don't see any signs of rub on the plastics or anything. I can feel some resistance but only for a split second and there is a very hard to hear noise but it is there.


Any one have any idea what this could be? It has only done it about 5 times. 4 out of the 5 have been when making a right turn. My tires have never scrubbed before so I don't think that's what it is.

 

Wheel bearing a little worn maybe.....I'd pull the wheel and have a look see.

 

is it a grinding noise? I agree it's probably a baring

 

Limited slip rear diff? Probably need to change the gear oil and add some limited slip additive when you re-fill. If that doesn't get it, the clutch packs may be worn.

So today it did it pretty bad. I was taking an S curve, not too sharp at all, I go down this road everyday, at about 30 mph and it was almost as if my brakes locked up or something. Traction control came on and the brake pedal seemed off.. Don't really know how to explain it though. Do you guys still think its the limited slip rear diff? Ill definitely be taking it to the dealer soon, just hard to take it in when I cant make the problem happen so they know what I am talking about.

 

Stuck caliper maybe??

 

Good idea, tmath23; your dealership will be happy to check this out for you. Keep us posted on what happens; feel free to contact me if you need additional assistance.

You're tires always "scrub" on turns if your nonadjustable toe-out on turns is out of spec.

Or you're in 4WD.
