Grinding...
I have close to no knowledge of cars in general. The 91 LS400 is my first car, and I am very thankful for owning it. The problem is when I am accelerating/decelerating or turning (not sure) something sounds like it is grinding, it just happened while I was driving home today, so I will drive it around tomorrow and see when exactly it starts to have a grinding noise. Sorry for being so ignorant on the cars. Also, does anyone have any advice on a good way to start learning about cars?

I have a similar issue in that when I accelerate I can hear suspension sound in the front wheels. When I go quicker, the sounds changes with the speed of the wheels, is that what you have as well?
I will be sure to update this once I have my problem diagnosed, I hope it is cheap fix for both for us.

No, I mean I may be ignorant, but not that much xD. I will drive it around tomorrow and see how it works... I have a feeling it may have something to do with the power steering.

check all the lugnuts and make sure they are tight. the day i bought my ls, the front left wheel made a creaking sound. i was like wtf as it was perfect when i drove it a few days before. pulled the center cap and the lugnuts were loose. so i tightened them and checked all 3 other wheels. never made another sound.

Nah, there is a leak from under the power steering. The noise is made when I am making right turns turning the steering wheel more than one revolution. I am taking it to a mechanic tomorrow. Hopefully it is not an expensive fix....
