When I turn the wheel hard to the left until it stops there's a metallic grinding sound. I know zilch when it comes to suspension and steering. Where should I start looking?

Check your brakes, you might have a siezed piston,try bleeding your brakes and check if it still does it afterwards.also check for any play in the passanger side wheel while lifted.Do you have any death wobble?
