I have a noise coming from the front end of my car, on the passenger side. It's something in the steering I am sure. I am hearing a noise like metal on metal. Mostly when I turn the wheel to the right. I have the car up on stands and the front wheels off, and everything looks normal. The shock on the drivers side is oily and has a heavy rub mark on it, but that looks to be normal. If you guys need some pics let me know soon, it's getting dark and I gotta drive her again tomorrow...

It's not really in the steering... It doesn't have any realy affect on my steering, but I can feel whatever it is through the steering wheel when I turn the wheel while moving forward.
I raised the a-arm and rotated the rotor by hand and tried my best to turn the wheel...
Nothing happened...

What piece? There isn't any stress marks or unusual bends in any of the parts... A while back someone said maybe a tierod end... I'm not sure which part that is, and what it's supposed to look like in good condition.

Sway bar looks untouched...
I just noticed something. I think it's the exciter ring for the front ABS. It's looking bent when I rotate the rotor and look down on it. I don't see how that could be affectin the steering or making any noise though...

put it back together let it down...
try to move the tire side to said. this can indicate wheel bearing problems.
try to rock the tire at the top. this can show ball joint problem.
and go to an empty parking lot turn to lock at low speed back and forth. if it pops check you a-arm bushings.

Here's a curveball for ya... While doing the stop to stop test I noticed that it only makes the noise while in gear. When I was doing those circles I would push the clutch in and the noise would go away...
Sounds like it's maybe in the rear end???

But it only happenes when I'm turning to the right, and just a little when I hit the stop turning left. If I"m going in a straight line, say approaching a stop, and I push in the clutch, nothing changes. It's like normal healthy operatoin from everything...
