Grinding noise in mazda 3 when turning.

I recently replaced the struts on my wife's 2004 Mazda 3. When I drive the car I get a grinding noise when I turn left or right, but the noise comes mainly from the passenger front side. Any advice? Thanks so much!

Wheel bearings perhaps? Or tie rod ends. Check your CV boots and be sure they aren't all dry-rotted and cracked. If they are, the lubricant in them will have leaked out and the tie-rods will be getting chewed up by road grit.
