Squeal/scrape/grinding

Only happens when I turn right at low speeds and goes away when I turn back left. Car has 140k miles and bought used from Honda with 115k miles. Pads look great and rotors as well. Does not make a noise when parked and turned.
sorry if this has been covered already I just couldn’t find anything on here with the same symptoms

Could be CV joint but before you do anything else just check to make sure all lug nuts are tight.

That’s the only thing left that I can think of, had the car up in the air again today to change cvt fluid, and moved the wheel back in forth. Makes some clanking noise and feels a little lose. 60 dollar part, thinking about doing both, LCA’s, tie rod ends, sway bar links and a torque mount. I think that covers everything in the front end minus the rack

Time for CV axles. They are super easy, each side takes less than an hour, removal and installation. I usually just do both at the same time when one goes out, I always looked at it as "if this one just went bad the other one must be going bad too." May not be right but I guarantee it'll fend off replacing it for a lot longer than not.

How are the boots? have they split yet?
if not, might not be the CV's as they usually last until the boot splits and the grease is flung all over.
At that point, dirt usually enters the joint and that's when the noise starts.

Boots haven’t split yet, but I’m at 145k miles and still have the oem ones on. I got lca’s, cv shafts tie rod ends and sway bar end links, gonna do them next weekend. I will keep y’all updated if the noise is still present afterwards

If the replacement CV shafts aren't OEM, make sure to CLOSELY inspect them.
Many have experienced noises/vibrations from using aftermarket shafts on late model vehicles (Honda inclusive).

Also, congrats to those with high mileage!
I finally hit 44k miles on my 2016 recently. Looking forward to many more miles!
