Noise??

Last week I started hearing a noise on at the front right tire area, when I turned and (inclined or declined) thought maybe a shock?? I was going to stop by Quandra71's on Friday but that fell through. I moved it yesterday and now am thinking it is not the shocks. My passenger front wheen was on an incline curb and when I turned the wheel there was this awful gringing type noise (alomost like 4wd Toyota'a when the wheel is turned tight). Not sure what this is, anybody have an idea without seeing and hearing?? I need to take if for a tune up since I bought it in May and have only changed the oil once, I figured a winter tune up was a good thing. Thanks, and Chris hope to get out to your place soon.
