Turning noise
When I make a 90 deg right turn and accel out of it, I'm hearing and feeling a rubbing/ grinding noise coming from the left front wheel area. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before I had my Z51 brakes and sways installed. Any ideas? It brakes fine, no other noises, no left turn problems, perfect, other than this. I'd like to take it back to the installer with some suggestions and not to the dealer. Thanks.

I would look closely at the left rear lug nuts, inside the fender well and around the brake calliper. The left rear corner is getting the most load with an accelerating right turn. The work you had done should have not changed anything that would cause a rub/grind like you describe. The coincidence it just too high. Take it back for a thorough inspection asap. Good luck.

It could also be
The rear end. I had the same problem and after having the rear end drained, refilled and new bottle of conditioner applied the problem went away.

turning noise
Mine had the same problem, took it to dealer,after talking to engineering there is a special additive that they put in the rear end and it stopped the noise, it was covered by warranty too
