Scraping when at hard right hand turn

[L33TJ33P]

I have started to notice a scraping noise whenever I take a right turn. I can't really tell if it is Rear or front, what I think, Differential. Anyone ever have this problem or know what would be making it?

i really don't see how a differential would make a scraping noise

 

[L33TJ33P]

Any suggestions??

i'd jack it up & spin the wheels, see if you can isolate front/back....

u joint in the front going bad ?

I would start with jacking up the front, turn the wheels to where it makes the noise, and see if anything is rubbing. I can't think of what it could be in the rear, so I would first check out the front. I am also not sure the U-joints would make a scraping noise. They usually only go squeek, squeek, squeek, POP, BANG, etc.

I also have a screeching noise coming from somewhere, front or rear, I don't know. But I do know that it's my brakes. Sorry, I know this didn't help.

ya, I always get mud jamed up in my brakes and it makes all kinds of noises until I clean them out.

 

[Snitty]

so by scraping noise, what do you mean? that might direct us.... if you were to replicate the noise, what would you do?

Imagine a Knife across a wit-rock sounds like that. that is scraping. Or maybe what Ice skates sound like when you are trying to get speed, or Conan the Barbarian sharpining his Sword with the Rock.

Either way I just bought Bearing packer yesterday I am going to re-pack my bearings first. I seam to have forgotten that when I replaced all the fluids after sinking her.

Also make sure your trac bars are nice and tight!

my rear brakes are making a similar noise... i'm not worrying about it.. i'm just dealing with the noise... i'm sure a small pebble got caught up in there and when i turn, i put more pressure on one side... it will wear or grind out eventually
