I need some diagnostic help.
A few weeks back my truck started making what I thought was tire rub on the passenger side when I turned right. Then about a week ago it got significantly worse. At that point I thought, even though I could not see any evidence of rubbing, the "cut" front springs were the issue and installed some 1" lowering springs that brought the front up where it is a much better ride. Not that I thought it had anything to do with this issue at that same time I replaced the steering gear that was badly leaking. I took the truck out for a test drive today and it still has that "rubbing-vibrating" weird noise. It makes that noise only after around a 10 minute or so drive and will do it with only a slight turn of the steering wheel to the right. I am at a loss as to where to look now and would really appreciate any suggestions.

I guess I would check the wheel bearings. Jack that side up and turn the wheel to see if you can feel any roughness in the bearings. Turn it back and forth instead of just one way. Is it disk or drum brakes on the front? |

Not uncommon to have the brake line rub the tire on these disc swaps. They can be a PITA to get clocking and hose length right to keep it out of the way
Tread wear is always a suspect for noises too. It can be hard to see, but you could swap tires and see if it moves :shrug: |

Look for the date code on your tires and make sure they are not over 10 years old. I've had perfectly good looking tires that were old and they threw the tread off and did body damage. And they are noisy before they throw the tread off or blow out.

No rub marks on the tire or brake lines, no play up and down or side to side when you wiggle the wheels, no air in the hydraulics? I'm just spitballing at this point
