grinding/scraping sound going around corners

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I'd have a guess at an outer CV.
Lift the front of the car and try to revolve the wheel with the steering at 
different angles.
You can actually feel it through the tire if that side is the bad one.
Good luck!
