Front end noise

Ok, when you turn the wheel all the way to the left and you are MOVING at the same time... there is a loud grinding noise. Like something might be rubbing but I was standing under the car looking for something.. ANYTHING and there is NOTHING to be found. Any ideas?

Something I might have missed?

hi sherrie, front end wear is hard to see, you need to check for free play in the parts. if it were me i'd look at the struts first. good luck

Look at the corner of the wheel well right in front of the bottom of the door. On alot of these cars the tire will rub there, depending on the tires that are on them. I'll bet it does it worse when you're backing up...

NY,

Did you find that nice, shined and polished area on the inner fender or right side stabilizer bar yet? Yes - right side. the tire can interfere with the right end of the stabilizer bar on left turns, and vice-versa.

Just a thought.
