The vehicle listed above is a Sport model.
I just replaced the water pump, thermostat, and the coolant temperature sensor. When replacing the coolant, a hose came loose, and it splashed everywhere. After repairs were finished and took a test drive. Every time I make a turn (both directions) I can hear a grinding noise coming from the front wheel well area. Upper and lower ball joints have been replaced, so it's not that. It's been very cold here, under 30°F, if that's a possible factor. Thanks for any ideas.

Could you take a video and post it so we can hear the sound? Does it make the same sound if you turn the steering wheel while stopped? Try taking some hot water and rinsing off the belt and pulleys and see if it changes the sound at all, the coolant could be causing belt slippage and noise.
