Strange grinding noise from right wheel

Every time i back out of my driveway to the right(full turn) my wheel makes a grinding noise when i go over the skirt of my driveway.

What could this be? im going to get it checked out soon.

But pleaseee tell me i need new springs or shocks ahaha so i can get some pedders/konis or coilovers

I have the same sound but its only when I make a full left turn. Usually when I pull into my parking spot. I'm lowered on h&r springs though. I know it isn't the tire rubbing because I've checked that

I know for sure mine isn't the tire rubbing. I can't figure out What it is though. Its only on the right side and only when I turn completely left. I don't hear it when I turn right

You said u are not lowered right? Cuz I think that would elimate tire rub as an option unless you have some wide wheels

If it was a wheel bearing wouldn't I hear it during driving and during all left turns? I only hear it when I make a full left turn. Basically the only time I hear it is when I'm drving 5mph or less when pulling into my parking spot(full left turn)

Yea I'm lowered and he is not. Mine sounds like a grinding clicking maybe a little twisting mixed in there. And again I only hear it when I pull into my parking spot at a low speed and full turn left. I have stock struts on my lnf with h&r springs.

Will do. I was hoping it wouldn't b the axles but that will b the next thing I check. Does anyone know if axles would be covered under the powertrain warranty?

I don't know on the warranty.well I figured since you said its not the wheel rubbing starting looking at all the other moving parts when turning..but good luck with it and finding out what it is might be major or minor. Have you had someone stand near and look while you back out..lol I have my wife do it for me when I start hearing something not right..have her drive it up and down the road
