Every time I make a sharp right turn, there is a scrapping or rubbing sound. The garage mechanic said it is the cradle. Can you give me any more info.

thanks Joann

the cradle is in the front and holds the transmission/engine and front wheel assembly all in. it could either be broken, or cracked or a bolt broken off, etc. Or you could have a broken motor or transmission mount as well....have it checked out further.
