When I drive my car and someone is sitting in the passenger front seat you hear a loud scraping noise when I make a sharp left turn in the right front wheel. Do you think that my car needs struts or what do you think the problem is?

Hi Murphy123,

Check the right wheel brake backing plate, it might be too near the rotor.
