I get a loud metal on metal grinding when turning left into my driveway. I jacked up the car and everything seems to be ok. Could it be the control arm? Could anyone tell me what to look for?

Thanks Bob

if it's metal on metal, it's most likely the bump stops that prevent you from turning the wheel too much. They either need to be greased or the plastic cap that is sitting on top of the left bump stop fell off.
