New Cold Weather Noises

I like in Bozeman, Montana and it has been frigid around here lately, like a hight of -1 F, and my 93 3.0 has begun making some new noises. Whenever I turn either right or light I hear a squeal and can feel vibrating under my feet. I believe it is some sort of rubbing but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing anything like this. I also have 31's but I haven't noticed any rubbing on the tires or the wheel wells. If anyone has any input it would be much appreciated.

It might be ice and snow build-up inside your wheel wells. Check for that.

Mine does that too when it's really cold, I don't know what it is...Kind of a deeper noise, more when I'm turning and then it goes away after about few hundred yards of rolling?

oh man, thank god. I thought it was just me. about 50% of the time I start my truck cold with my 3.slow, I get a wierd grumbling noise. Its pretty loud. It goes away as soon as the engine is totally warmed up. Annoying as hell and pretty disconcerting.
