Here's a strange one. My 1987 Saab 900T all of a sudden started producing a loud metalic scraping sound on left turns. This happened on my commute home and had me very concerned. When I got home (it was dark) I crawled under the front of the car with a flashlight and looked around to see if I could find the problem. To my surprise, there was a 16 inch length of wire rod (about twice the thickness of a coathanger) wedged between the bottom two coils of the coil spring on the drivers side and sticking out toward the wheel. It took a lot of contortions to remove it, by bending and bending and breaking it off. And that was the source of the grinding. My question is how in the heck did it get there? I am completely baffled.
