Guys,looking for your help again...While backing and turning wheel to the right I’m getting some weird noise which seems to be coming from the right front wheel.It sounds almost like gears trying to engage.Steering works fine while driving.It only seems to occur while backing slowly and turning steering wheel to the extreme right.Any help would be appreciated

Might be your tire treads rubbing on your crash bars. Do you have aftermarket wheels and/or large tires?

Had this when I moved to a slightly larger tire (265/70/r17) on the stock wheel. I was rubbing somewhere. A spacer/upgraded wheels with a slightly different offset fixed it.
