Noise heard when turning into driveway

[pikemike]

I hear a low frequency groan or vibration when turning right into the driveway. It appears to be coming from either the left front suspension or the steering column. It’s hard to pinpoint precisely where the source is. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any ideas as to what it could be?

I get a groan when in reverse and turning nearly full lock left or right, typically into or out of a parking space. I can't consistently reproduce it.

Never had it when going forward.

To date, my solution has been to avoid turning so hard.

Thank you very much. I’m having new tires installed in a few days and I’ll make sure they have this TSB and address this issue.

Did you have the same issue and did this resolve it?

The issue pops up with worn tires and will go away with new tires.

Get the TSB done before you install new tires or they won’t be able to duplicate the problem

I get the same thing and thanks for the heads up. I even talked to RAM Cares and they never mentioned this......

There's been others, myself included, with the Hemi that has the same grunts turning right at times. Mostly parking lots and driveways.

I’ve got the 5.3L eTorque. This is more common than I imagined.

Very! I know there are a few threads about this.

The TSB is for the V6 but I imagine the V8 has the same EPS system. Is yours pre-February 2021?

5.3?

I'm hoping that's a typo...or it might explain his issues.

5.3?

Beat me to it.

Some people have too much time on their hands

To be fair wouldn't be the first time someone came here with the wrong car\truck.
One time someone came here with a Subaru or Volvo or something random asking for help...

5.3?

Sorry, it is 5.7L. 5.3 was my old Silverado truck.

I’m glad to hear that. IvoryHemi posted a revised version of that TSB. See above thread, Rev A was issued a few months after the original you sent. I’ll get that module software updated Wednesday before I get the new tires. I’m glad to hear this fix is working for so many. I hate that sound.

Yes, was built June 2020
