Grinding noise when accelerating

:banghead: I'm back again...thought I had this fixed but I guess not. My car makes a grinding noise when I hit the gas...its worse when turning right but goes away when turning left. So far...new wheel bearings and axles on both sides, front and rear tranny mounts, tranny has been rebuilt and new torque converter. Even checked the starter to see if the spring broke/gear rubbing....nope. Could the strut bushings/bearings cause this? Sounds like metel on metel grinding. No codes thrown either. I need some help before I dig a really big hole for this car , thanks...

Possible strut bearings, but first check the front cradle mounts and make sure that are torqued properly and not cracked. If they are cracked (mine were) get it fixed immediately!

I checked the frame...replaced the driver's side strut bearing...no change. I keep thinking it must be the diff, but the trans place says no. I don't know what to do...have replaced almost everything that moves and there is no engine light. Even took off the s.c. belt and drove but no change. This is making me go :screwy:
