scraping
99 explorer 2wd
Sometimes when I back out with the steering wheel turned right there is a not to loud but enough to really get your attention and feel it through the truck. I have looked all over down there and there are no scrape marks or anything that looks like it is rubbing. Any ideas?

Sounds like a tire rubbing. Have you checked the front wheel wells?

It is definately not the tires but a metal grinding noise. Would greasing the steering stops do any good if it only makes the noise when its not turned all the way or not and backing out?
