In a Ford Fusion, if you hear a grinding noise while turning, it's likely due to worn-out wheel bearings or damaged cv boots. Wheel bearings act as a cushion between the axle and wheel to reduce friction. When these bearings are worn, they can cause a grinding sound when you turn the steering wheel. Other signs of bad bearings or cv joints include uneven tire wear, grinding noise, and loss of lubrication around the wheel bearings. The cost of replacing the wheel bearings or hub typically ranges from $200 to $300, depending on the extent of labor needed. While wheel bearings usually last around 100,000 miles or more, they can wear out prematurely due to excessive use.

I recently swapped out the right front axle but I'm still hearing a chattering sound while driving in a straight line or when I slightly turn the steering wheel to the left. The noise persists despite the axle replacement.
