Front end noise at super slow speeds
Hello All,
2018 Ram 2500 6.4L Gas
Recently noticed a high pitch squeal noise coming from front end that is only noticeable at VERY slow speeds. Like <7mph. Sounds like a continuous break squeal but pushing or releasing breaks makes no difference. Also seems much worse (when it happens) when turning even if slightly turning.
The way I found it was picking up my daughter after school. After picking her up you have to slowly wrap around the back of the parking lot, so you can imagine that type speed. I just heard a constant squeak the whole time I had the large left turn going. Once speeding up I could no longer hear it. That was 2 weeks ago. I have been able to reproduce only 3 times since then all in similar situations.
Also when I have to make a sharp left turn I sometimes hear a small pop when the wheels are fully turned.
Before I take it in to be looked at I am curious to hear your thoughts. Anything that can not be easily reproduced I find the dealer says no problem found, but if I tell them specifically to look at "x,y,z" they will. I am 3k miles and one month within warranty so I want to get it taken care of.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
