Help. Loud gringing when Im turning right over 20 mph.

I got new rims and 5100's installed last week. Everything was fine. But yesterday. I was doing a round about right turn to get on the freeway at like 35mph and all of a suddun there was a grinding and my truck pulled way to the right. I stoped and looked at everthing and everything look fine. Then this morning the same thing happened on a differnt round about free way entrance. Im trying to get an appointment at toyota but they dont have any openings for a while. What do you guys think is wrong? My tire isnt hitting my my mud flaps because I dont have any.

 

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me. Make sure your lug nuts are tight, especially since a shop has had their hands on it. Try to feel your hub on the backside of the spindle for excessive heat, where the axle would go through if it were a 4x4. If it's hotter than the left side, it's your wheel bearing. Which means get it somewhere safe immediately and get your wallet ready.

 

im wondering if his wheels are really close to the caliper, and when turning that fast it flexs just enough to touch the caliper?

just an idea.

 

Sounds like something that happened to me after changing suspension components. Did it trip your VSC? Did it feel like your antilock brakes were being triggered? If it happens again touch the brake pedal lightly and see if it's pulsing under your foot. If this sounds right, the solution is proper alignment.

 

Toyota called me they had a spot open up. I went for a test drive with the tech but I couldnt get the noise to happen. I left it for them to check it out. I will let you guys know what they say. I hope nothing is messed up.

 

The tires are still stock 265/65/17. I was going to get new tires this weekend but then this happend so we will see.

 

Yeah, depending on the wheel specs, it still could be a clearance issue.

Just a thought,

did you happen to bend your brake rotor dust shield? I bent mine a little when I was installing my new driver side CV axle, and after that every time I turned to the left it made a horrible cringing grinding sound.

 

I checked to make sure nothing was hitting the UCA's. Ill take pics if toyota cant find anything. I didnt install the rims so I couldnt tell you if dust shield is bent. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 

This probably isn't the problem, but depending on how the new 5100s were installed, is there a chance the UCA ball joint to spindle isn't tightened correctly? If it's moving around, then it could cause the vehicle to pull and allow the wheel to move to a point where it can grind on something. Sorry if this doesn't help, only thing I could think of.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Im still waiting to hear back from toyota. I wish I knew more about my truck so I could diagnose the problem.

 

Toyota just called they said the truck is fine they couldnt find anything wrong. Hopefully it doesnt happen agian.

 

Sounds like vsc was triggered.. Apparently lifting the truck a tiny bit can make it over react

 

So I picked up the truck after toyota inspected it. It sounds like they checked everything. I drove it around and did some more fast turns I couldnt get the noise to happen. In other news my wife got me tires for Vday.
