Grinding while turning Left
Hello,
Its been a while since I have posted on here, the Jeep has been running well. Just recently I noticed an issue. If I have the steering wheel turned all the way to the left, turning as tight as I can, slowly of course, there is a grinding noise that occurs. This is when I am in 2wd, and only happens when turning left not right. As I have never really had any issues with the steering etc..., I was wondering what parts or areas I should look for being the culprit. I have a 2"BB on there, but it only started doing this recently.
Thanks in advance for any help.

What size tires are you running and what backspacing wheels if aftermarket? Look at your Lower Control Arms and see if theres some paint missing off the left one.

Tires are stock i believe (235 70 R16), I have the stock jeep wheels that came with it. I just recently replaced the stock LCAs with stock replacents. They were exactly the same, I havent noticed paint missing, but I will check

If its only happening at full lock then most likely its rubbing something. Just have someone turn the wheel to full lock and see what could be rubbing. Or just dont turn your wheel to full lock.
