Grinding/ rubbing on front end

Lowwhiteram02 · Apr 16, 2017

Bought a 2017 ram quad cab hemi with 13 miles on it. Only had it for a couple days and noticed when I turn I have a grinding or rubbing noise. Looked under the wheel Wells and don't see any signs of rubbing but the liners are loose and think that when I'm driving the liners a pushing back rubbing on the tires when I'm turning cause I don't see how wheel hubs could be bad with only 13 miles on them. Anybody else have a problem after picking up their brand new ram?

I had a loose wheel liner on mine. It would only rub at full lock in reverse. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time until I really studied the liner. It finally hit me that something didn't look right. I punched a couple of small holes in it and used zip ties to secure it back in place.

Compare both sides to each other and give them a good look. Maybe you just missed it.

I had the very same issue on my 06 when
I turned.. found on here to get some' Friction modifier '.. its about $10 bucks at any autostore. Took it to Valvoline and they put it in for me at no cost since I have my oil changed regularly there . Bam ..noise gone instantly and has been for about 2 years now
