I have noticed a low grinding feel/vibration on my steering wheel and column when I turn left in a parking lot between 5mph to 20mph. It doesn't happen when turning right. Or straightforward.

I replaced both hubs and front brakes.

I checked and nothing seems to be rubbing, I have stock tires. But I do belive this started after I leveled the truck 1.75 inches. I also added billsteins 5100 in the front.

This is a 2wd so no 4x4 issues.

I'm at a loss , nothing is loose or worn. And it has an electric power steering.

Does anyone has ever experience thus before?

There's a recall on the steering column that'll probably fix it,take it into your dealer and have them check to see if it's been done.My wifes old 16 Challenger did the same thing till the recall was done.

Might be listed as a TSB. They tie up the wiring inside the column as it's been known to cause a rubbing sound when turning the wheel. Message Tach Tech he's a legit Mopar Tech and will know more about it.If nothing else take the truck into your dealer and ask them .I had it done on my 14 and on the wifes old Challenger.

Does the vibration continues even when the steering wheel stops turning?
