Default Weird sound when turning..

Whenever I turn right I hear this weird sound coming from the left front. It sounds kind of like metal pieces are in the suspension or something, like a metalic grinding kind of sound. Does anyone have any idea what this could possibly be?

can you be a little more specific? Is it a clicking noise? Grinding winey noise? in pulses or sequences that match the tire rotation? More info, more help

If it a clicking you need CVs. Look on the side that is making the noise and see if your boots look riped and torn this is a good sign

see, its not really a clicking noise, and thats whats got me stumped. I know what bad cv's sound like and this doesn't sound like that. Its more of a grinding sound than a cv kind of clicking.

Well, it still can be your boots. If the boot is ripped and there's no grease packed in there, it will grind for a bit and make weird pulsing sounds as you drive around. After a while, and the bearings take a crap on you, then the clicking will begin.

Jack up the car and take a quick look under there. If it's a ripped boot, it's pretty easy to see.

If it is indeed your boot/axle, you can go to Pep Boys and get a remanufactured one for like $60 with your core. Not bad if you're on a budget.

check your brake dust shields.....i just put a new suspension in my car and new front brakes as well and now when i turn slowly left i can hear something (calipers, rotors, etc.) scraping on the dust shields. ive gotta take care of that this week. bang on them with your hand and you will hear a very distinct noise...see if that noise matches what you are hearing. good luck.

I hear some kind of rubbing noise when I make right turns only too. Could they be from camber kits? I just installed the skunk2 kit and had it aligned. Heard camber kits pulls the axles? Think it could be my cv boot because last time I was under the car, it looked like the boot had a hole and shot grease everywhere.
