BAD Grinding Noise When Turning, Whats Going On?

Hey Gang, I noticed it for the first time yesterday Morning. I had not driven the car for about a week, due to being out of town for Thanksgiving. Anyway, it was a Horrific sound when I was making a left turn onto a main road. Kind of like a Grinding noise. The noise lingered in the back of my mind all day yesterday and today and I hadn't heard it until about 15 minutes ago. This time making a right turn. On both occasions, the noise occured at about 10-15mph. It's almost like a rubbing/grinding sound. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

check your cv joints.. then check to see if the wheel isn't physically making contact with the inside of the fender or the endges ( a long shot but you never know)

If it rained while you were away or you live in a very humid climate, your rotors may have gotten wet and rust formed on them. The first few times you hit the brakes or your pads rub slightly against your rotors, that rust is rubbed off and you can hear it. Usually it clears up in just a few miles.
