    Hokay, I reccomend that you check your wheel bearing end float. Raise one of the front wheels and push/pull it to see if it moves. If there is movement then your wheel bearings need attention. While you're there you might as well check your balljoints as well by grabbing the top and bottom of the wheel and trying to rock it, if there is movement there then the balljoints are munted as well. Hell, why not look for some movement in the rack as well, grab the front and back of the wheel and move it side to side (on the axis it turns on for steering) if theres much slop there then the rack might be a bit worn out.

    Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.

    commodores dont have cv joints on the front.

    it sounds like the wheel bearings have worn out. or extreemly loose and the rotor it hitting the caliper bracket causint the grind
    or the plastic gaurd has come loose and is hitting the wheel when turned
    Stato on the inside, berlina on the out side,5ltr under the bonnet,stockies all round...........that thing has to be a sleeper
