Grinding noise in front end

[TexasD90]

Hen I decelerate I hear what sounds like a rotational grinding. It changes as my speed changes. Can't tell if it sounds like something in the axle or maybe the drive shaft. I'm running 3 inch lift and 35 inch tires. Also has ome caster correction.

What do you think?

Have you looked under it to see if the driveshaft is rubbing on anything ?

How about seeing if one of the bolts holding the brake calipers on has backed out ?

Could lift each front tire up and do the 6 and 12 check to see if wheel bearings are going out.

Those are just a start to look at before getting to far into it.

I've been reading old threads on the issue, and they seem to all end with different conclusions. Guess I'll just have to star narrowing it down.

Could be a rock in between the brake rotor and cover.

I once had a front brake pad retainer clip pop out of place while mudding

It was still held in place by one of the pins, but would scrape the inside of the wheel every time hit a small bump or road reflector

Might be worth a look

Many threads in here about front end noises while decelerating end up being ring and pinion issuses. Have you recently regeared?
