Default Noise when i turn steering wheel

I went wheeling and now when i turn the wheel in either direction it makes a grinding noise, any ideas what it could be?

Could you be a little more specific about the noise?

Was it a pop?

A whine?

A scratch?

Does it sound like Tickle-me-Elmo?

?

Do you mean you don't have a sway bar? How do you not have a trac bar? You're axle wouldn't be centered.
