I have what sounds like metal-on-metal contact when I make right hand turns. This noise has progressively gotten worse. Now I can hear the noise on bumps and even light turns. Anyone have advice or info for me?
edit: These cars handle REALLY well. Good steering system and 2400 lbs makes my car handle like a brand new Acura RSX! I can tell you this, my 143k mile 6GC handles MUCH BETTER than my '99 twin turbo 3000GT VR-4! The VR-4 is AWD too.

i have replaced front wheel bearings, on a GT. but im pretty sure its the same
in the ST. biggest deal is having access to a press, oh and while it may cost around $100 its a good idea to replace the hub while your at it. dont do like i did and press a worn out hub into a brand new bearing :x |
