Creeking sound on sharp left when cold

Justintoxicated · 11-10-2006, 05:44 PM

Hi guys when I first start my truck after it has been sitting I getting a creeking/ rubbing noise, (kind of like brake Squeel) when making a sharp left turn. it sounds like my old truck did once it got up to like 150k on it. I can't for the life of me figure out what it is, but I'm thinking it may be the suspension or power steering?

I have taken it into the dealership and they can not re-produce the noise. I think it is because the truck has to sit for like 8 hours or so then make a sharp left before it warms up or is driven (not sure which). I think something is wrong as I hear the sound every morning and my warranty is almost up (4k left)...Anything I can specificaly check out to diagnose this problem?

hey--I've had the brake job done and my brakes still sqeauk occasional when stopping or making sharp turns. Let us know what it is when you find it.

The thing is I'm not on the brakes at all, and basicaly I have to turn the truck aruond with a 2 point, pull in driveway, bakup, type turn. on my old truck with oversize tires the steering stopper nubs would rub on sharp turns, but I don't think it is the same problem on the titan.

I already have the brake fix as well.

I had the exact thing happen from around the 5k mark to about 15k. The problem cured itself somehow. I never had a chance to have it looked at since it would only do it when the truck was some what cold. By the time I got it down the dealer, the truck would be warmed up. Hopefully yours goes away on its own too.

I hope so too, but it seems to be getting worse, probably break something right out of warranty with my luck. I was hoping that maybe the springs just need to be rotated or something?

Maybe rotate the air in your tires too? lol
