wheel grinding when making left turn
I have an 01 civic dx that amkes a grinding noise everytime i turn the wheel left while moving. It started off quiet, now it is really loud and it grinds when i got over small bumps. Is it my caliper or rotor? I checked the rotor and there is no signs of abnormal wear on them. any ideas?

It's probably the dust shield on the drivers side. Take the wheel off and check to see if it's rubbing on the rotor. If it is just bend it out a little bit.
