Could either be a bad starter drive or a bad tooth on the ring gear/flywheel Try turning the engine manually (large socket on crankshaft) and see if it starts without grinding. If so, probably a bad tooth. If no change probably a bad starter drive

∙ 13y agoLots of things could do this, none of them good. It might be a bad balljoint, tie rod end, Power Steering pump, constant velocity (CV) joint, rack & pinion, steering box, etc. All can be serious safety issues, and some more costly than others.
Regardless, you need to have your favorite mechanic diagnose this 'hands on' sooner than later. It will likely only get worse (and therefore, more expensive) over time.

∙ 15y agoThe most common problem is that the cv joints are worn but could also be a wheel bearing. If it is the wheel bearing the noise will be constant if it is the sv axle then its most common time of hearing it will be when you turn and it may even bind up on sharp turns.
