Just had the transmission changed on the above listed vehicle which is fixed, but since picking up from the garage where work was done we suddenly have front end noise when turning right which wasn’t there before it went in for the transmission change.

Hello my name is Dave.

First thing I would check is if the inner fender liner is loose and rubbing the tire when you turn. If you look in the wheel well you would see rub marks if this is the problem.

The other thing I would make sure of is if they did an alignment after installing the transmission and if they didn't I would make sure to get it aligned. However, it would have to be pretty far off for it to rub. But regardless if they didn't align it it should be done for safety reasons as well as to prevent tire wear.

If you could keep us up to date on what you find we will be interested in what you find. We look forward to hearing back from you and thank you for using 2CarPros!
