Default Help!

Hey guys I have an 08 base, and I 'm getting a grinding scraping noise when turning right. I had the diff fluid changed last week did the figure 8s and all, but the sound is still there! It sounds like its coming from the front of the car right wheel when turning slow and sharp and also somtimes happens when at a stop and vibrates under the drivers floorboard!

The left front wheelbearing on my '05 did that around 15k miles and was replaced under warranty - solved the problem. There was some clicking to the sound I heard and only when you're turning.

My '08 does the exact same thing. I have noticed that if I push the clutch in while making the turn the noise stops. I have also approched a turn and pushed the clutch in and there is no noise. Not sure what it is. Any thoughts
