When making a right turn that requires turning the wheel all the way (like pulling out of a space) I can feel resistance and hear a groaning/rubbing sound coming from the front driver-side wheel as the car straightens itself from the turn. My automobile-mechanically-ignorant-self is thinking it's something to do with power steering. Thoughts? 2003 Mazda6s 3.0L MTX Webpage 2004 Mazda3s 2.3L ATX

See if the CV boots on the noisy side are torn and leaking grease. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
