ok this one is weird as hell, gfs tracker ONLY when first started when u start driving it makes this rubbing/grind noise from the front. i cant tell whether its coming from the driver or passenger side, it will ONLY happen when she is driving, when its just idling it will not do it… my dad and i have no idea wtf it is. it will only do it for the first 5 mins of driving it then it will not happen anymore… any ideas?

possible the fan is hitting the shroud? is it a grinding like the compressor clutch is shot for the a/c? is it a 4wd tracker maybe somehting in the front diff is jacked up? try putting it into 2wwd and see if it lingers.

is it when braking or driving. i have seen in cases that when cold ceramic pads can make a growl noise
