Hi Guys,
Last week in installed the DynaTrac ProGrip Brake system on my 2013 JK Unlimited Rubicon. I have ProComp LaPaz wheels running 37" tires on the factory JK D44 axles.
When i turn LEFT and ONLY LEFT I get this grinding sound in the right rear passenger area. My offroad shop looked at it for 2 hours and we couldn't figure out what the sound was.
When driving straight you don't hear it. In the video i was in a big left hand turn.
We thought it might have been the wheel weights rubbing on the caliper housing but we verified clearance and rebalanced all 4 tires. Then we though maybe it was an issue with the e-brake pads rubbing the inside of the new rotors but pulling the rotors there is no visible sign of rubbing other than the few times i've pulled the e-brake to verify its working.
Please listen to the sound and see if you can identify or help point me in the right direction of things to check for. Its also possible this has nothing to do with the brakes and its just coincidence that this sound started around the same time.
Does it sound like an axle bearing? I'm stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I taped my iPhone to the top of the right rear frame rail. So this shot is looking down at the right rear passenger tire.
