I have a 1999 Forester and just recently it started making a binding/grinding noise when you turn the weel all the way to the right or left and drive real slow. You'll only hear it if you're taking a slow sharp turn or driving in a circle. What is the cause and solution for this issue?

Otherwise car drives fine.

It sounds to me that the issue may be on or both of the c.v axles. Check for torn boots. Its the first sign.
