Grinding Noise help please

This happened when i made to fast and sharp of a turn and got a little bit of wheel hop. it only happens at low speed then it goes away when i get up to like 25 mph. when its wet it seems to do it less. Also it does it when i go straight not just when i turn so i have no idea what it could be any input to this would be a great help. Thank you very much i forgot to mention it sounds metalic

check your pads and rotors. Something might have got caught there. You can also jack the car up and wiggle the wheels by hand. If there's play it might be a wheel hub.

do this, put it in 1st gear and go in a circle really really slow with the sharpest turn you can get and listen and feel if it grinds. Do it both directions, if it does grind i would change out your Differential fluid.
my stock car had that grind, i changed the fluid and presto all gone.

you have to start from somewhere, do a visual , then change fluids then go from there.

I would have someone sit in the back with the window down and listen to make sure you know what side it is on. Then pull that wheel and look at the brakes and axles. Then go from there.

If you have the HKS HiPower then It's your exhaust rubbing on the driveshaft. Do you have an aftermarket cat back section? Check 360 degrees around your exhaust right where the carrier bearing is on your evo. Common problem. Get another exhaust, hammer in yours, get different exhaust hangers, any of these should fix it if it's the exhaust rubbing. Does it sound like rock in your brake rotor dust shield?

see this post and many more like it.

This is silly, is your front undertray off? because sometimes the side wheelwell pieces can hit the brake cooling thing (if you have those).
