etlsport,
The feeling that you are describing usually happens when the truck is in four wheel drive (crabbing). You do get a little feed back in the steering wheel (it'll jerk a little from side to side), and I'm sure if the four wheel drive was engaged you would here a little grinding as all of the gears meshed and fought to turn that tight of a radius.
I'm sure you would know if the truck was in four wheel drive, but that's my two cents.

Even though it sounded like it was coming from the front, it's probably hard to tell in a parking structure that is prone to reflecting sounds all over the place.
Another possibility is the clutches in the rear LSD making some noise during sharp turns. Have you changed rear diff. fluid lately ?, & if so, did you add LSD additive ?
You now have four cents.

MS, yea thats the first thing that crossed my mind was that crabbing effect, ive never felt it from 4wd but the way ive heard id described thats almost exactly what she was doin, but i wasnt in 4wd so i dunno
Ldub, i more felt the grinding than heard it and could almost be sure its from the front, but ill have someone listen while i turn to make sure its not coming from the back, i havent touched the differential since i got it but had the vx checked out by a dealer a couple days after buying.. its been about a year now w/o problems, could just be going, probably time to change it out anyway so ill probably go ahead and do that this weekend even if thats not the problem
thanks
