Ford Focus 2012 - 25,000 miles
There’s a loud grinding noise from the front end of car when I turn the steering wheel… even when the car is off and in park.
I can post videos of the noise if needed. Thanks for the help!
The grinding noise you hear might be from a bad upper strut bearing.
Since this noise occurs with car not moving, place your hand on each strut tower while someone turns the steering wheel back and forth.
If there’s a bad upper strut bearing, you’ll feel it

The other question we should ask is the one Tom or Ray often asked in this sort of situation.
“When was the accident?”
