Hi folks, hoping you can help me diagnose a strange noise I've been dealing with.

Recently I've had a grinding noise (sounds almost like metal on metal) coming from the front passenger side of my car.

-I have ~15,000 miles.
-Sound is only apparent when I turn my wheel during low speeds, at <10mph.
-If I jack the car up, I can't replicate the noise. So noise only happens when the front suspension is loaded.
-Checked my coils, sways, and upper a-arm to make sure everything was torqued down right. It all looks good.

Dealership doesn't seem to want to deal with it since I have all aftermarket suspension parts and that's what they claim my issue to be. Can anyone help shed some light onto this?

Thanks!!

I had Metal on Metal and it was my wheel bearing. They replaced it.

Try jacking up the car on the passenger side front to get the wheel off ground and then grab the tire/wheel and see if you can shake or move it a bit. If you have play it could be an a-arm issue if I'm correct. How low are you? And What Camber?

I had a loud grinding noise when turning left slowly like to park. I actually dropped it off at my local Infiniti scared of what they would find. To my relief, I was only charged me $55 to fix a bent dust shield. Since I looked through the internet trying to figure it out, figured I would post about mine..
