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!!

 

Thats really weird i actually expirienced the same sound today doing a U-turn a really slow one hm.. i took it to the dealership they couldnt replicate the noise either.

 

Bump...any insight on this guys?

 

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

 

hope i helped

 

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..
