    Thank you for replying.
    No, it’s very quiet and smooth. The only time it makes a loud HORRIBLE metal on metal sound is when the front (passenger) tire (suspension) is highly flexed.
    One other thing same tire(did this on old tire too) rubs against OEM mud flap.

    • Put front of truck up on jack stands.
    • Remove passenger wheel.
    • Remove sway bar.
    • Remove "coilover" coil/strut.
    • Reattach control arms to spindle.
    • Cycle the passenger side up and down through the full travel and turn the steering wheel back and forth to search for the contact.
    If you don't find anything, it may be time to remove the CV and inspect or replace that.
