Non Car Guy seeking advice

Hello Acurazine forum,

Im an 05 Acura TL (Manual) owner, recently i got into an accident and ended up grinding my Front bumper against the wall. Recently, ive notices whenever I turn my wheel to the very right i hear a grinding in plastic noise. I only hear this noise going forward but not reverse. Any suggestions on what it might be?

Sounds like the front right wheel is rubbing against the quarter panel / bumper. Or, possibly a lower control arm got pushed in.

I'm going to take a guess at it being your fender liner.

Sounds like something got pushed in from the accident. Take a look under the car and see if anything is unusual. Turn the tire all the way both directions and see if the tire rubs on anything. I'd put It up on jacks to free up the tire movement.

have you tried looking in the wheel well? It should be very obvious what's grinding

Is this before or after a repair? I am guessing you never took it in for repair...which being a self-identified non-car guy...I would suggest taking it in somewhere. If you did get it repaired...take it back to them.

It should be very obvious what is rubbing. Either the fender liner isn't in place, or something else is bent and causing the the tire to come into contact with something it shouldn't be. It could be a bent fender or bent suspension...either way, there is physical contact that shouldn't be there.
