PLEASE re read this thread! Safety related.

My wife came home today and mentioned that she hears a grinding/rubbing sound when turning left. I jacked up the front end and found that all three bolts holding the front drivers side hub on were loose.

Two were almost all the way out. I backed the bolts out, applied lock-tite and re torqued.

As far as the type of use the car sees...I have an aggressive alignment, sticky tires and have run it in several autocrosses. It does get driven fairly hard on occasion.

Anyway... for those of you who 'push' your rides, I HIGHLY recommend you check the bolts. The attached link gives a good bit of detail. It only takes a minute to check and a couple minutes to fix.

AXers and racers: VERY IMPORTANT! [Check Hub Bolts if driven hard]
