Steering wheel grind . . . need help
Long story short, I let my father use my 05' and this morning he calls me and says the steering wheel grinds real bad when he turns it in either direction.

After inspecting the front end, nothing looks wrong or busted from what I can see. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance !!

Fluid level is perfect. It's not a whining sound but a grinding sound / feel
