Making somewhat of grinding noise when i turn or reverse and turn wheels It has been making this noise for about 3 mos and getting more noticeable. It started when I would be reversing I could hear a noise like it rubs on something. checked steering fluid it was good.

But now when I am pulling up somewhere and turning wheels it makes same noise. Does it more and is more obvious when I am going bout 5-10 mph.

As far as the front end shaking your going to have check wheel balance check for bent wheels ball joints tie rods wheel bearings being loose.So when turning and hearing the grinding can you hear the noise while not moving and turning the wheels?
