My 1995 car started making this particular noise in the front, where it sounds like scraping or grinding when I make turns. Does anyone have a clue on what that could be? Please help.

I think it is your cv joint. Not an expensive part to fix. You might have to replace your steering knuckle at the same time. What type of car is it? If it is a chrysler you can guess it will be about 200 to 300 depending on the shop. When I had mine go bad it about 12 year ago it was $175 to repair it with inflation I couldn't tell you but do some shopping around and expect that they might have to put in an alignment on it as well. Good luck

A grind type noise on turns would be most likely wheelbearings, usually the bad side will go quiet when you turn in that direction. If both bearings are bad then you get a grind in both directions

sounds like you have a bad cv joint. pay attention to when this happens the most. it will sound like a clicking noise especially while you are turning. she if it is worse when you turn right or left. this will tell you which side is bad in need of repair. usually this is a replacement part. no repair will fix it. a new joint should be around 100 bucks depending on where you live. that is if you can do it yourself. a garage/shop is likely to be at least three times that.

IT likely needs cv boots. My 94 car was doing that noise at times, before I had it serviced. It was less than $500.

It's possible you are draging a piece of the bumper or plastinc underguard on the ground. Take a flashlight and inspect under the car.

Does it grind when you use the breaks while driving straight? If yes then its the breaks, if it is only while turning, I am think CV Joint, axle or just the boot may need repacked with grease.

Could be tie rods, could be your ball joints, could be your lower control arms, your upper control arms. Could be a number of things, get it checked out by a technician.
In the meantime, try turning your radio up a little louder!!!! LOL

it probably a balljoint, depending on the make of the car, anywhere from 30-130 bucks.
dont flush all your fluids, thats the biggest rip off ever.
the only time you need to flush them is if theres dirt and crap in it.

your power steering fluid may need to be changed. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic and having all of your fluids flushed, radiator, oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. I might cost you aroun 300 for that to happen but it should save your car
