I, I have a 2014 JKUR totally stock with 3000 miles. When I make a right turn on a slight uphill the front makes a sons like grinding ball bearings in a can. Took it to a dealer twice. The first time they found a rock in the fender(they said) and the second time they said it is normal. I've had many jeeps and never heard this sound. Going to a different dealer next week. Any ideas on what this could be? Everything seems tight underneath and there are no rub marks. Thanks

Definitely something going on there. Automatic or manual? My 2014 JKUR manual has about the same mileage and no noises or anything like what you're describing.

Auto. Hopefully the other dealer will look a little deeper. Planning a trip up to Maine in October and don't want to take chances.

Could maybe your front air damn be offset and dragging on the knobs of the tire?

Gets worse every day. I think bearings or u joints. Hopefully the 2nd dealer will find out Tuesday.

Grinding is likely bearings. Gotta love Chrysler quality!

Took it to the other dealer today...said it was a longer bolt hitting the exhaust pipe in the front. Exhaust pipe has a dimple in it. They shortened the bolt...so far noise is gone...go figure. Hopefully that's all it was.

what bolt ? I cant think of anywhere the turning of wheel can put a dimple in pipe what bolt was too long?

I'll see if I can get under it tomorrow and take a picture.
