My SRX is new for me, but used. A few weeks ago it started making this noise, which is kind of like a grinding, when I would make turns. It isnt the steering column and I had the fluids checked when I got my last oil change. Now it seems to be getting worse, like when I go over speed bumps and such.

I thought maybe something needed to be lubricated but someone mentioned it could be the struts. Help!

Hi there,

You will have to inspect the front brakes, drive shafts, wheel bearings for any fault, if it is so bad, you should not have any problem locating it, just jack up one side at a time and place on a stand and feel for loose components and turn wheel and listen for noise, start here.
