    Today I noticed that when I make a sharp turn to either the left or the right (full wheel turn) there's what sounds like metal grinding against metal from my front end. I recently spun out on the snowy roads during the last storm and slid in the ditch, so maybe that had something to do with it? Occasionally when backing up and turning as well, it feels as though my whole car is slipping on ice patches, unsure if that's related (no metal scraping sound). I don't feel anything unusual in the handling while turning. The car does have a slight pull to the left but that's just an alignment issue. That's about all I got...any ideas?

    Dust shields for the brakes might be rubbing.
