I believe I've solved an issue with a metal scraping noise coming from our Grenadier's driver's side wheel well. It might be worth checking the next time you are under your truck:

Here is a photo of the passenger side tie rod end, shield and brake disc. The shield it so close to the tie rod end that you cannot slip a baby finger between the two. The brake disc shows even wear.

The second photo is of the driver side. The tie rod end and shield are so far apart, you can slip all of your fingers between the shield and the tie rod end. Additionally, you can see that the edge of the brake disc is now slightly beveled due to the grinding of the disc and the shield. I reached around the back side of the shield and could feel the scored area from the rubbing.

I bent the driver’s shield by hand and the issue appears to be gone.
