Left hand turn

[Jaxrwild]

When making a left hand turn sounds like a grinding noise, put it up on the lift didn't see anything visible, any suggestions???? More like tire rubbing on plastic

I'd be checking for rub marks on both the tire and fenderwell

Front or rear?
I would start with checking the spring adjusters.

for a little small rubber they can make a lot of noise when turning. I second the check on the spring adjuster . Other than a look at the plastic shields to make sure they are not rubbing which would be obvious shiny spots on them I would look at the spring adjusters.

they are a round rubber on the ends of the leaf spring under the control arm. if the rubber is flat and mushy or missing it will make noise when turning . these are for lowering but you can get stock ones

Just so happens I rebuilt the rear suspension on my car on Sunday. Lower A arms, rear spring, wheel bearings, half axles. Here is pic of the spring adjuster that I knew was broken, thus the reason for this project.

Broken one vs new one:

Here is what’s left of the one that wasn’t even making any noise:

Pretty sure this is directly related to the pothole ridden PA roads.

By the way, original like ones are on back order from corvette central till mid sept.

that was just a photo to show you what to look for. The same part fits an 06 but they are for lowering the car. The above photos are stock ones if you can wait to get them from backorder

 

[Jaxrwild]

it's still up on my lift will look in the morning

 

[Jaxrwild]

On the ends of the spring. Between the spring and the lower A arms.
