grinding noise
When the starter motors, does it sound normal? If not check for a loose starter.
Put it up in the air (the car), take a long piece of thin rubber hose and use it as a stethoscope to pin point the noise with the engine running. A drill bit in the end of the hose is a good thing.
Let us know what you hear.

I just had my Torque Tube replaced. The metal sound you were hearing was probably due to the bushing disintegrating, leaving the pins to contact each other. It gets ugly. There are some pics on this board. Search for Torque Tubes.
