help weird noise when turning truck to the right!!
ok this is very weird. i have a 99 quadcap dually 4x4. when i turn my turck to the right and to the right only there is a very weird grinding noise. its when steering wheel is turned almost all the way to the right. there is a sweet spot were i can get it to grind constantly. i just replaced the center link that was going bad adn it did tighten things up but noise is still there. i am hoping that it isnt anything to do with the bearing hub assembly cause those aren't cheap. any help would be great. thanks in advance.

first order to look hub, axle joint. and then really should safely raise it on jacks doesn't need to be to high start it and turn the wheel. have someone hold it and look . see if you see any contact spots. but this may need to have the weight of the truck and motor to make the squeal. real easy to check the hub. I dont think a ball joint would make a grind this bad.

my truck currently does this to, but when i turn to the left.
are you sure it would be an axle ujoint? my buddys truck did this, turning both ways and it was a 2wd.

I'll throw this out there just in case: It's not something simple like a corner of a mudflap or the splash shield that catches the edge of the tire tread when the wheel is turned a certain amount? Sometimes those will make a pretty horrific sound.

Might be the clutches in the rearend. Mine is notorious for this, get it fixed with just the right oil and anitfriction additive but go through it everytime I change the fluids. Mine is always worse one direction.
