Did you change tires too? If so, maybe rubbing on the air dam?

Only while turning and hitting a dip or bump? What size tires are you running? Could they be rubbing on right turns? Or maybe a ujoint going bad? Unit bearing? Loose tire? Hard to say without a better description, we'll all just be guessing...
I'm pretty sure it's only when I turn or veer right...it's made the noise relatively consistently at different speeds...the tires I have on don't seem to be rubbing...I checked that...I have a feeling it might be a joint or bearing going bad...along with the rotator retaining clips not allowing the spacer to be flush..thanks for your input! I'll be double checking all of these

Thanks I'll be checking everything!

You may not have touch this item but if your track bar is not torqued to 125 pounds you will get a tension notice when turning. Just if you don't know. It's the bar with the bend in it, has a bolt and nut on each end. I just lifted mine and after driving it a notice started and it was the track bar. Good luck!

If you go to your friendly Psychiatric center, I'm sure, no, I'm positive they will prescribe Xanax and anti-depressants for ya bro! Take a deep breath and relax....it gets better.....

x2. Track bar needs to be torqued to spec. I think it's 65lbs.
