My camber was too far out so I ordered a set of blox front camber kits. I installed them today and test drove it down the street. When I turn left while moving I get a grind on the right side, and when I turn right I get a grind on the left side. It's not constant, it's as if a part of the wheel or tire is rubbing something while I turn but I jacked it up looked around and can't see any rubbing marks. I am going crazy trying to find this thing. Has anyone experienced this before on their vehicle?

All bolts are tight.
I adjusted it enough using a leveler to drive it safely.

I am at a lost here...

get an alignment. you cant eyeball that with just a leveler.

as for the sound... not sure what it could be... axle?

 

are they on the wrong side l on right and r on left, a common misconception is that people see l and r facing the car when the manufacures see it as from the driver seat being left and the passenger side being left. happened to me once...and second does the ball joint have a grease zerk on it?

 

I meant safely enough to get it to the alignment shop which I am going to do once I find out what the hell is making this noise. I don't see it being the axles. I prop'd them up while the ball joint was off so they wouldn't hang. They were fine earlier today. It's also coming from both sides.

As for the L and R. I did double check that but no they are on the correct side. No grease zerks on them...

The noise is rotating but instead of a popping sound an axle makes it's like a grinding sound as if a caliper was rubbing the inside of a wheel... lol

 

ROFL... I found the issue...

I was thinking about when I was changing them and when I put the jack under the knuckle to hold it up I did it quick without thinking. What had happened is I put it under the dust plate behind the rotor and I bent it so it was barely hitting the rotor. I did it on both sides. It wasn't only when I was turning thats just when I could hear it best because my car is loud and I wasn't accelerating on the turns. Also when I hit a big bump I think the new arm is hitting the top if the fender. Since the bend in the arm is a little bigger than the OEM arm. Either way works good now, on my way to the alignment shop!


I feel stupid, my name fits me right now!
