grinding steering noise when turning wheel sharply
When I make a tight turn (pull into a parking space, out of my driveway) I hear a grinding/crunching/crinkling noise, like the steering is struggling, almost stretching, once I turn my wheel about 80-90% to full turn. It only seems to happen the first 15 minutes or so that I am driving. Can anyone help me diagnose?

Its most likely your power steering. If you have the steering wheel all the way to the left or right for longer than 15 seconds it starts to make a noise? look at your owners manuel for details

My vote is for a failing CV joint (likely one of the outers) on the front. You can get new axle assemblies (with new CV joints) for about $100 per side if that turns out to be the problem.
