grinding noise

For some odd reason when im driving and if i cut the wheel pretty tuff to my left side it makes a scrappin noising, nothing loud were other people can hear it, but if you pay attention you can hear it and its annoying when i cut the wheel to the right side it doesnt make any noise, and this happends even if im only going like 5mph. sometimes when im going up da lil ramp into a drive way sounds like my front struts make a grinding noise, can any one help me wit these problems, thanks.

My Max does the exact same thing! When the wheels are turned all the way to the left and I drive over a bump or a dip, I get a loud screeching/grinding sound. My guess is my axle(s) need to be replaced? Can anyone confirm this?

Strut bearing, or something needs to be greased.

I had the same problem would only occur when the car was turned full tilt, Tom fixed it by applying some grease

so pretty much right i dont know **** bout cars really but i do a rather good job changing the parts, so if i change my struts, with brand new struts my annyoing sound problem should be fixed?

It could be something as simple as the piece of tin backing the rotor being bent out of shape. I had exactly this after a wheel alignment, it would make a metal-to-metal sound on sharp turns. Took about 1 minute to fix, cost nothing.
