Most likely the C.V. joint needs replacing. The grinding noise is usually a sort of clicking sensation. Another problem you might have is similar the the problem i had with my clio. when i put the steering on full lock i could hear a grinding noise. the thing i did was have my car checked by a garage and they found that the suspension had shattered. you need to get it checked.
A bad tire weight can cause a rubbing noise on full left lock on your Honda Civic 1997. A bubble on the tire can also cause this.
The expedition door lock relay could be stuck causing the grinding noise. Check to insure that the lock relay is working properly.
The lock actuator has failed on whichever doors are making the noise. The actuater is serviced with the door latch.
its the cv joint it gives a click,click,click noise on full lock sometimes pushing grease into them helps but usually needs replacing.
If you are on a slippery road or just push the brake as hard as you can, that odd grinding feeling is probably your anti-lock brake system. The pedal will feel like it is grinding under your foot, accompanied by a grinding noise. this is a good thing, it means the system is working properly. If you aren't on a slick road or jamming the break, you should see a mechanic immediately.
turn the steering, full lock to the left, then full lock to the right, while being stationary, light will then go out.
Trun your steering wheel to full lock left and right and hold it in full lock (One side at a time) for about 10 seconds if it is the steering pump that is whicning the whine sound will change when in full lock.
It is broken.
Almost certainly needs brakes. Should be some change in noise when applying brake. The longer it goes, the more it costs. $90 if caught soon, $400 if you let it go. At some point the wheel will lock up and there will be the tow bill also.
The real question is what kind of noise is it making when you brake. A pulsing type of noise could possibly just be the anti lock brakes working which would be more noticalbe in slippery conditions. A high pitched squealing type noise is probably the brake pads indicating the pads are in need of replacement, unless you just replaced them then it might be the type of pads you put on and the noise should go away after a couple days of driving. A grinding noise could mean your brake pads are to worn and grinding into your rotors causing a more expensive repair and if not taken care of soon enough your vehicle could become inoperable at any time while your trying to go somewhere.
it could be a few things. Could have bad berrings, breaks could be sticking.. I would take it to someone and have it checked. Don't want a stuck caliper (spelling) and your tire lock up.
Try changing the top strut bearings they rust up and can give a knocking sound when you go from lock to lock,
