Bad noise turning slightly right
I have a civic with the integra ls drive train. A bad noise occurs from the driver side front wheel when I turn slightly to the right from a crawl to ~30. The noise sounds like metal on metal scraping and something rotating. The brakes have little or no affect on the noise when applied. The noise is barely audible from outside the car but very loud inside with all windows closed.
I don't hear or feel anything when I lift the car and rotate the tires. It's only audible when there is weight on the car. I replaced the wheel bearing and noticed no other problems. I thought it might be a bad axle, but I don't think so any more. Any idea?
btw I did search around before posting!

Re: Bad noise turning slightly right
Just thought I would clarify by saying it's worst when I take a corner to the right and put more weight on the front left wheel. No noise when the car is lifted and the wheel has no weight on it.
I'm thinking it might be a ball joint groaning now....

Re: Bad noise turning slightly right
The noise is way worse, and I've deemed my car not drivable. I'm thinking it's an axle, so I'll probably fix replace it this week and post an update. Thanks guys
