Need Help with Determining a Problem

Hey guys, newbie here.

For about a month now I've noticed that my car, a 2001 Infiniti I30, has what sounds like rotating scratching noises coming from the front when I do hard corners or going on a deep bank. More prominent when going left. Its fine when driving straight or taking gentle turns.
I haven't had the time to get under the car and look, but I feel like it could be one of two things: either a wobbly dust shield or my CV axles going kapoot. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Thanks!

Sounds like a loose or worn out power steering belt. You may have a leak developing in your high Pressure steering hose. Check the foam piece on hose located on top & see if there is any fluid present. You may have to roll it down slightly in order to observe any fluid.
