Have a scraping/crunching sound when I turn left. Right turns are OK. Any ideas?

sounds like a wheel bearing.

Jack the front up and try to wobble the front wheels. LOL Bob

The wheel bearings are in good shape.

The noise is probably coming from the box under the gas tank where the steering column tube ends. Although it sounds like it's coming from the steering column tube itself. Any ideas?
