Rubbing noise while turning!

Looking for Advice
<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->I just purchased a 04' Powerstroke, 4x4, LARIAT. I'm hearing what appears to be a slight rubbing sound when steering primarily to the right when taking off. Has anyone else experienced this or can give insight into possible causes. The truck is the first FORD I have ever owned, and I hope this isn't the start of a long list of squeaks, rubs and rattles. Any advice.

Michael

if you have mud guards on check to see if the tire is rubbing on one of the screws that holds the mud guard on , the screw should be clean

Do you have stock tires? Mine started rubbing the plastic piece under the bumper after I put bigger tires on. I just trimmed 1/2 inch off both sides and it quit rubbing unless I hit a major bump while turning.
