hey guys i just got my car back from my mechanic to replace the control arm, new bearing pressed in and acouple other issues
today i noticed when i turn left my passenger front wheel grinds. not even that sharp of a turn.

Are the grinding noises constant?

Take it back to the same mechanic. Maybe he f'ed up.

Didn't install bearing properly.

Didn't re-install the drive shaft properly.

Etc.

its a constant metal on metal grinding noise when i turn left. would it have anything to do with the bearing the guy pressed in when i replaced my control arm?

My guess would have to be something to do with the drive draft. I know I had a similar issue with my old nissan maxima that it would make a horrible noise when I turned but when I replaced the drive shaft it went away.

edit: i ment to say i got my car back about 3 days ago

so grinding or crackling? metal on metal? or tire rubbing on fender? he replaced a wheel bearing?

need more specifics. i would think it would grind if you turn right as well though

this thread is full of aimless/pointless guessing.

the mechanic effed up...he's liable to fix it free of charge
