I have a 1995 Eagle Vision. My brother started driving my car a couple months ago and he is a really hard driver I guess you could say. He likes to take off really fast when the light turns green, he loves to speed, he makes hard turns, and he brakes at the last minute. Well I get in my car today, and there is a grinding noise coming from my front passenger side tire. But the thing is, it only happens when I turn right. What is causing this? And does it have anything to do with my brother's driving?

The reason I let him use my car is because his broke down and my father told me I had to let him use my car. HA! And him pay for half the repairs?!? He won't even put gas in the car!! Thanks for the advice, keep them coming!

I had a similar thing happen to my car. It only made noise when the car was in a right turn. then its totally quiet when it's going straight or turning left. Have the guy at the garage check the starter. If the retaining arm is broken then every time you turn, the gear slides out and rubs against the fly wheel.
It's worth a look at.
And don't lend your car to anybody! Especially an irresponsible type.

Suspension, brakes, bearings, steering box...could be any one of a number of things. Was it caused by wear on your 11 year old vehicle, or your brother's driving skills? Unknown, even after you find out what it is for certain.
The question would be, why did you let him drive knowing he would be hard on it?
Anyway, get it in, find out, get it fixed. Maybe he will volunteer to pay for half the repairs.

The first thing I would check is the brake pad they are designed to start a grinding noise when they are close to wearing out. Making hard stops can quickly use up old break pads.

I am willing to bet that it is the CV joint. It runs from the transmision to the tire causing it to move. It might be from the driving, but more than likely it is due to age.

take it in too many possibilities but the age of the car says it needs to checked SOON

Either a wheel bearing or brake indicator

probably a bad tire. tire worn wrong or a front axle or cv joint, cv joint is part of the front axle, some people replace the whole thing and some people just fix the cv joint part.
