Everytime I brake, start from stop, or turn going slow speeds I get a loud noise in the front end. It sounds like it is underneath. It sounds like metal grinding. Any ideas? It also makes the noise when I am sitting still and turning the steering wheel from left to right. It makes the noise around 85% of the time.

Hi buckeye77,

The symptoms described indicates a bad lower control arm ball joint if the disc pads are not worn. Check if the backing plate is too near the rotor.
