When i turn hard going foward or reverse i hear like a braking loose noise. Its almost like a tire rub but from the rear wheels??? and my tires dont rub their only 31's

Are you sure it's from the rear? Know what bumpstops are?

there may be a mattress wrapped around your drive shaft

could be bunches of things- wheel bearing(s), differential, loose brake hardware... you may have a lsd or something in the rear causing one tire to drag when you're turning.
Does it make more noise turning left or turning right, or about the same?

just when turning hard mainly how both ways. the fronts sometimes do it to.
its been a problem ever since i had the truck and nothing seems broke. but it gets old
i've had some ppl look at it and they said cv joint...


no whats a bumpstop

bump stops are what limits the travel of you axle. if your missing yours your tire may come in contact wiht your body or frame during axle articulation

turning hard and hearing noise makes me think steering stops?

Steering stops... that's the word. Thanks Leebee.

The steering stops/bump stops are on the lower control arms. They're crescent shaped and catch the large bolts that are on the bottom of the backing plate of the front wheels. Look and you should see them.

As said, they limit the turning of the front wheels so your tires don't rub the frame, body, or steering components. It's pretty common to be surprised by the noise they can make if one doesn't know they are there. They require frequent greasing and maybe even end caps if they are worn through.

no worries mate, i figured one of you young bucks would have come up with it before an old codger like me!
