I have 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL sport and I recently installed the Westin triple tube rock rail steps. I noticed the next day it now makes a grinding/ rubbing noise when i accelerate or turn. Any advice or input on what may be causing the noise ? They look great, but the noise not so much. thanks

Check to see if your rails are rubbing up against the frame, I had the same issue, if so just lossen up the bolts pull the rails away from the frame and torque to spec.

Did you ever figure out how to fix noise? Did you grease your steps?
