I have owned two 1990 pickups and both of them made a rubbing sound when
turning sharp to the left, such as in barely moving forward. I also was at
a ball park one time and witnessed another pickup sound the same way when it
pulled out from the parking space. I have never been able to determine what
it was. There was a recall issued last year for a steering rod - mine was
replaced and I am not sure if the noise is still there or not.
