BADDD clunking/grinding noise when turning left or right while driving

[karenpiechow]

I have a 2007 aveo hatchback basic model, 120,000 miles. I havent replaced anything on it since I bought brand new in 2007. Last year about 80,000 miles I started having problems with loud road noise coming from the front tires, it almost sounded like the tires were rubbing against the wheel well. I took it to the repair shop for diagnosis and they said that my front struts needed to be replaced as well as "A-Arm bushings" (not sure what those are). Well I did not get that stuff fixed since then and the noise has been getting progressively worse and now at 120,000 miles there is a horrible horrible loud clunking almost grinding noise coming from the front end while driving. It seems only when I turn the steering wheel left or right, but it sounds so bad that I'm afraid to drive it. So I decided to replace the struts and strut mounts which I did myself and the horrible noise is still there.

Anyones input on what this could be would be amazing!!!

The mechanic was referring to the control arm bushings (rarely called a arms). And that sounds like the solution, replace those
