    Front end rubbing sound

    Hello everyone, i'm new to the pajero scene with a 1993 J-top 2.5td.
    Recently after reindexing the torsion bars to compensate for front end sag, the pajero started making cyclical rubbing sounds at low speeds when cold(turning or in a straight line makes no difference). It disappears when driving quicker or when warmed up. Any ideas on what the issue could be?

    Brake pads rubbing against slightly warped discs? To eliminate this as a cause, lightly press the brake pedal and see if it goes away. It could also be slightly loose wheel bearings.

      My guess would be suspension bushes that are now working in a different position.
      To find the offending bush just spray each bush with silicone, one at a time, until the noise stops.

        It does go away yes after braking slightly, i tried to replicate the sound on jackstands(without changing suspension angles), but then it's as silent as it should be. Wouldn't a warped disk make on-off grinding sounds?
