Scraping sound when not scraping

take off the front left wheel and see if the shock is leaking anywhere...

your description sounds like a blown shock

Rog. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Are you lowered? Tire scraping inside of fender or fender-liner?
You can put some painter tape up in there and see if the tire scuffs it.

Could be that annoying little front mud flapper. I took mine off and made a BIG OL DIFFRENCE.

nope. Not lowered. And that's the thing. I know for a fact I'm not scraping. These are little itty bitty bumps and it still makes that sound. But I can feel it too. It hits the entire chassis. Leads me to believe it is a suspension component. We'll see. Got an appointment at the dealer in a few minutes.

It was the front tires. Who knew?! They apparently don't like the roads here. Can't blame them. Guess it's time for new wheels/tires!
