Default Right Side Grind

alright, i'm not looking to be flamed.

i own a 95 accord coupe. yesterday a grind was heard. when ever i turn left while pushing the gas i get a metal on metal grind. could it be the CV joint or bearing or what? it doesnt grind when i coast or in neutral.

Could be a shit ton of shit.

Jack it up, take off the wheel, and start wigglin shit, to be honest- it's the easiest way to see what's fucked. Focus on things that would lead to a grind- ie: balljoints, tie rod ends, axles, brakes- etc. Make sure everything's tight, sometimes the dumbest things go wrong.

It is unwise to drive. Find out what it is before you drive it.
