Just had new tires, brakes (shoes/pads/rotors/drums) and shocks all the way around... Now, when I back out of my driveway (last 10ft. or so is at an incline), turning wheel to the left, I get this grinding noise from my right front wheel like someone tied a cinder block to a rope and is dragging it down an asphalt road (with or without brakes applied and this is the best way I thought to describe it). Service monkey said it could be that the brake dust shield is bent, but I can't see anything like that... :dunno:

Would these have anything to do with it (although they list different noise):
* TSB #042419 -- REVISED PROCEDURE FOR ADJUSTING ALIGNMENT ON ALL SUSPENSIONS - NEW RIGHT HAND UPPER CONTROL ARM DESIGN FOR TORSION BAR FRONT SUSPENSIONS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10014096, DECEMBER 13 2004) -- Since the noise is coming from the front right side

* TSB #17254 -- CLICKING/POPPING NOISE FROM UPPER STEERING COLUMN AREA WHEN TURNING. 2004 E SERIES AND EXPLORER SPORT TRAC ALSO INCLUDED. *TT (NHTSA ID #10004908, OCTOBER 01 2003)
* TSB #16040 -- EXPERIENCING A CLICKING / POPPING NOISE FROM THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN AREA WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. *TT (NHTSA ID #636235, JULY 01 2002)
* TSB #15692 -- SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A SQUEAK, SNAP, RATTLE, OR CLUNK IN THE FRONT END WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMPS. *TT (NHTSA ID #636326, MARCH 01 2002)

and could I possibly get the docs for these too, pretty please with a 4 liter on top
