Let's tackle the grinding noise. As the car makes grinding noise in both directions and nor making full radial turn, I suspect that it is your power steering system.
What color is your power steering pump fluid? It should be red as it is supposed to be Dex III ATF. It is written on the cap. Is the reservoir full with fluid? How tight is your belt? A belt that is too tight will make your P/S pump squeal.
As something loose, a heat shield may do that.
