Any ideas on grinding noise

So it starts!!
I'm getting a grinding noise from front left hand side when in full lock either way left or right. Sounds like the wheel is rubbing up against the inner wall. Have checked and no obvious signs of rubbing.
Any ideas?? Cheers

Cheers Mike, how do you grease the wheel bearings? Is it a day job?

I ment DIY, it's really noticeable at slow speeds, if that matters?

It's the stops that take the grease. Literally just dab some grease on them, so very DIYable.

Lads , don't want to sound like a real newbie, but have the stop locks got another name? I've looked on the workshop disc and cant find any reference to it or where to grease?

Trying to make sense and hopefully learn something here.
The stop nut is on the Lower control arm and when the wheel is on full lock engages into the V on the wheel knuckle, hub and bearing assembly, but in my case because the stop nut is dry it's metal on metal causing the grinding noise when I turn.
Does that sound right or should I start again??
To dark to go playing underneath now.
Cheers

I've been known to get the dremel out and give them a whizz with a scotchbrite pad too.

Correct. It is a known issue, and LR even released a TSB about the fix.

Remember, there are 2 stops per side, one for the and one rear Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

Thankfully they don't; access height still has some suspension travel.
