Probably the tires rubbing against the fender liners. I get that when I turn full left or full right. I have a '23 HA with the 20" factory wheels.

Mine rubs when turning at fill lock to the right. Didn't do it when it was stock for two days. On day 3, I added 37" KO2. Stupid larger tire. Fender liner is getting a trim tomorrow.

Not the tires, wish it were that easy. Stock wheels and tires and even my smaller summer set does it, just began this fall. Ball joints are good and torqued, not really rubbing noise, more leak creak, but rotational for sure??any other thoughts? Appreciated.

Video, or sound recording? Have someone drive and you get out and listen.

That is the sound of it begging to be taken off-road.

Is it coming from the front or rear? If it is coming from the rear, does it have a limited slip (Trac-Loc) like in a max tow? It is hard to diagnose without hearing it.

** Edit** I just saw your location, I live in Farmington too, Black 2023 JT When you are ready get it dirty let me know I would run Pound Rd with you (good easy first run)

My 2021 HA was doing the same, it was a rubbing rear shock. Take a look at the rear shocks and look for scratches.
