    Today my car started making a grinding noise coming from the front left wheel. It sounds similar to worn break pads (metal on metal grinding) and only happens when the wheel is turned pretty far to the right (high and low speeds). Any ideas what it could be? Its not a steady noise but it repeats more the faster im going

    How would i check for the cv shaft? I put the car on a jack with the wheel turned all the way to the right and the front left spun freely so idk if it could be a sticking caliper

    check the boots of the cv shaft really well. if you got a hole anywhere, usually evedent by grease on the boot, then your buying a cv shaft
