Wheel grabbing or noisey suspension?

I park in a detached garage and need to make a sharp left turn at low speed each morning on way out of laneway. Truck is in 2wd mode.
Hearing a grabbing sound from front left wheel, & it feels kind of like when the 4x4 is on, but am not using 4x4
Happens only during first turn of the day...later on, no problem with full turns till next day.

Could this be the 4x4 not having enough vacuum to stay off during that first couple minutes after cold start?

If I bring it to dealer, they will not see a problem unless I leave it over night...would rather not for this small issue.

Should I bother getting it inspected? Only a few 1000 miles of warranty left.

Advice appreciated.

Well seeeing how your warranty is almost up It might not be a bad idea to have it checked! There might be a bigger issue with the vacuum than you realize.
