I am stumped, I finally got around to replacing my daughters four stabilizer links on her Corolla. Allen wrench insert that holds the stud so it doesn't turn in the socket was rounded away due to rust. I had to take a cut-off grinder to get the nuts off leading to getting the links off, and replaced with new ones. My question is now the car seems to have a high-piched grind when turning the wheel slightly to the right, any idea what this may be since it wasn't present before?

I did have to use a hammer on the old links to punch them throught the holes-could rust have loosened up?
