Ok, this one has me stumped. I've got a '87 CRX SI, with 278k miles. I have noticed a mild grinding sound from the front end that gets louder up to about 40mph, then stays that volume up thru the speed range.

The car has a new clutch (rear main, and throw out bearring) new front wheel bearings, and new brakes but still makes the noise.

Odd thing is, it gets louder on left turns, and goes away with right turns...

Any ideas?
