Is the idler arm on the passengers side rubbing?
The shaft bends over time with lifted trucks and especially with larger tyres off road.
Replace it. And drive quieter off road (If ya can :-) ).

If your pitman arm is hitting the chassis, then the pitman arm is bent is bent. You will need to replace it.
