Metal grinding/loud squeal noise ONLY when the wheel is turn to the left and moving
2002 W203 C230 is making some loud metal-on-metal grinding/squeal noise ONLY when turning to the left moving forward. For right turns, it doesn't make any noise. Even for the left turns, the noise doesn't ALWAYS occur, though. It seems the noise most frequently occurs when the wheel is turned to the left at 80% of its capacity while moving.
What could be the issue?
I searched the net and it seemed like it could be a variety of issues...
Wheel bearing?
I doubt it's the steering wheel fluid.
CV joint?
The most probably cause seems like the bent rotor dust cover grinding against the rotor when it is turned to the left.. Is this a common issue for W203?
Anybody has any ideas?....
Any input could be greatly appreciated...

hhhmmmmm
I would stand outside the car while someone else drives it to try and narrow down where the noise is coming from. (front back left or right)
that will help us give you a little more information.
