I'm having problems with grinding noises!
Similar to Drackonn's situation, when I turn
or hit a dip, pothole, basically when i put pressure on it,
it makes a metal on metal grinding noise! Its on the
passenger side! checked the inside of the rim and nothing's
grinded! any idea of what it can be?

the wheel bearing is probably shot... they look like a big ass version of the bearing it rollerblades! My car had a bad one before and it I could barily hear it when I was driving straight but if I put pressure like from a turn, it would get pretty loud. there fairly cheap but if you pay someone to do it I think its like a couple hours labour max!

I raised my car up a bit and it stopped the noise - now it only does it when i turn hard - so I think mine was because of being too low - but yours could be a wheel bearing like they said :(

Yeah i dont think it is the wheel bearing, its just hitting the inner wall or the seam inside.

did you check for wear makes on the inner fender? It could be a number of things... I would check with the easiest such as the inner fender for marks. If you have coil overs raise it up a bit. you already checked the tires, then after that move to suspension parts and the wheel bearing. I think that should over everything!
