Default 04 ES330 scrapping noise when I accelerate

Lately when I accelerate from a stand still I hear this scrapping noise from the front, only from a stand still. Once I'm up to speed I never hear it again. But I look and can't find where that noise is coming from. I have changed the front right CV axle but this noise was occurring before and after it was changed. Anyone ever experienced this that knows what is causing this?

i had a Honda that would make scraping noises on accelerating from a stop. It would also "pop" really loud when shifting from park to drive . The pop was from the engine moving on broken mounts. The scrape i believe was from the radiator fan scraping the radiator when first accelerating- as the car "leveled off " the engine settled back into place and the scraping stopped.

That is a good suggestion. This generation is hard on motor mounts - it has one fewer on the low side vs. the prior.

I had both side mounts busted but not this problem. Maybe check especially the front mount (it is, unfortunately the harder one to access/evaluate).

Oh sorry, didn't realize someone responded to my post. I plan to look at my front left motor mount to see if everything is alright. I already checked the front right, and everything is fine.
