Grinding Sensation in Sharp Turn

[Bowtechbob]

I don't think this is a major issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. When I turn super sharp and at a decent rate of speed, I can feel light vibration or it seems like a light grinding. Example I often have to make a u turn as I leave my office due to the boulevard dividing the road. If I have to get on it during said u turn is when i feel the grinding. It reminds me of when a truck is in 4wd and you turn sharp, but not nearly as bad. No other issues with steering or suspension. Truck is completely stock. Let me know what you think.

Is your truck in 4WD? I doubt it, but double check it anyway.

No this is in 2wd. I would expect it in 4 to an extent.

First thought is steering geometry. Do you have a lift/level?

Could it be weel hop crib the rear giving you steering wheel feedback? In the condition described, wheel hop is expected.

Do you have the anti-slip rear end? There can be some windup on dry surfaces with the limited slip, similar to how a 4wd truck would wind up, but not as bad.

I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're talking about. Funny thing is, at some point it either stopped or I stopped noticing it. I'll have to watch out for it again. 2700 miles in. The good news is nothing has fallen apart yet.

Have had the dealer look at this twice now and they have told me there is nothing wrong with the front suspension or tires. It definitely comes from the front end though and not the back. It has a low groan to it as well. Can't notice the sound with the stereo on though. I tossed it up to tire noise.

sounds like wheel skip, it only happens when the steering wheel is turned hard right? Its a inherit thing in RWD cars when the turning is maxed out. Its a low speed skid because of high steering angle of the front wheels. RWD vehicles have higher steering angles because there is no driveshaft to limit it.

I have been experiencing this also Laramie sport 4x4 stock 1300 miles. I’m going to take mine into the dealer tomorrow see what they say and get a recall taken care of.

Did you ever find out more about your issue?

My 2020 Ram Laramie spent 3 days at dealer. They wanted 350 dollars to change the differential fluids. The vehicle has 23k miles on it. Dealer stated should have been done at 18k but can't show me where that is in owners manual. My right wheel locks and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. We are now in the Lemon Law Process. Good Luck to you all. Ram knows about it but has no idea how to fix it.
