"Grinding noise" when I turn

CFar · 01-13-2007, 11:19 AM

I noticed today that when I turn in either direction in my parking lot that I can hear a dull grinding noise, almost like dragging a slab of tires on the ground, coming from the front end. Very odd noise that I can actually feel as a slight vibration in my feet and butt.

This is a new noise that was never present before.

Anybody have any idea as to what the noise may be?

STi is an 06 with only 6k miles.

Thanks,
Chris

Does it only happen at low speed? It might be your diffs.

I thought about that, but I just dont think so. Why now has it started? The diff from what I understand is supposed to click or clunk, not scrape/drag.

Better description of the noise is more like dragging your bumper on a driveway, just not quite as loud. It lasts as long as you have the wheel turned.
