    Hi I am new to the forums so I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I have a 2001 Tundra Access Cab and when I turn the steering wheel left it makes a noise. It doesn't have to be very much at all and it continues to make the noise no matter how far I turn it left, however I have no issues when I turn the steering wheel to the right or have it straight. Because of this I figured it was a CV joint or axle, but from the examples I have seen they usually make low grinding noises. If anyone has any ideas please help!

    Kind of hard to diagnose your problem from just a description. Can you post a vid of the noise here?, it would definitely help the people here figure it out for you.

    I have watched some brake dust shield videos and it does sound alot like that. Will they need to be replaced or they should need adjustment or cleaned?
