I have a '99 GT with 128k.
The past week or so i've been get a grinding noise/feel when i turn and brake. Similarly, if i am parking (car is in 'drive,' breaks fully applied, and i am turning the wheels) it has the same "feel"/noise. Almost feels like a phillips-head screwdriver trying to turn/screw-in a something that has started to strip down (it still does what it's suppose to, but not as smoothly/effectively as it should) if that makes sense.
Linear driving/breaking is fine as is turning at lower speeds (no breaking or while accelerating).
Instincts say (based on the 'feel' when turning), steering-related rather than brake related, but i could be wrong.
Anyone seen this before? Any ideas?
