Grinding when turning the wheel

[courtneyg85]

Hi everyone I had the fun task of replacing all front control arms and the strut mounts on my 2011 Q5 TDI. This fixed the creaking noise I'd get when turning the wheel or going over humps. The problem I now have is that I have a slight grinding noise when turning the wheel. 

Just wondering if anyone can help me pinpoint the issue. My next steps are to review all the parts to see if I can ascertain what's going on.

Please take a look at the attached video.

Thanks in advance.

I took my rear lower arms off to change out the bushes for polybushes, in order to get the bolt out I had to reshape the heatshield. That was fine on the passenger side, but on the drivers side I forgot to bend it back into shape and it was pressing up against the steering column, caused a lot of grinding and bound the steering up a bit but was all fixed when I bent the shield back out.

May be worth a look.

Yes I'm convinced it's the break dust shields as they are both brand new. I'll take them off to confirm.

I'm referring to the heatshields between the the engine and the front subframe.

This guy points to it about halfway through the video.
