My 99 rolla have this grinding sound whenever the wheel is turned all the way to the left especially when I am making U turns...sounds like a grinding from a back plate to my rotors....anybody had this experience? Any fix?

does it do it when the car is at a complete stop? is the grinding louder or changes speed depending on how fast you are driving?

no grinding at all, jut when i have to take a sharp turn or u turn. once my wheel is straight, it's fine.

sounds like your wheel might be rubbing on something when its at or near full lock. what size tires are you running?

pop off the hubcaps and make sure one of the lug nuts didn't work its way loose.

full lock. I am using kumho 16's for my TRD wheels. same size as before. It doesn't sound like tire rubbing against a fender or the plastic shield. It sounds like metal grinding.

hmm. with the front end jacked up and supported, turn the wheels to full lock. have a buddy hold the wheel at full lock. see if anything is touching. if its not, then i would check the wheel bearings for play.
