Took 2 of them in under warranty and was told it was the bushings on teh sway bar that was casuing it. Was told that from the salt in the winter that it drys out the bushing, and that causings the grunintg noise. So the fix was to take them out, clean them and put a lubricant on them.
So now twice a year I clean and lube the bushing, and have not had that annoying grunt in my Lumina.
Again not sure how loud or what yours sounds like. But I hope this might help a bit.

Yeah, I have the standard grunts and scrunching sounds when the wheel is turned or driving slowly. This is a very loud sound, like it makes people around you in a parking lot turn and look, wondering what the hell is wrong with your car
Like I said, in decibels it is more like what you'd expect out of a heavy truck. It's really loud.
I need to do what you said, too. I've got the scrunches when I turn the wheel when sitting still. My sense is that it comes from the upper part of the front struts. We lived out in the country for a while, the car ate a lot of dust and gravel, I'm sure it doesn't help anything.
Thanks, Paul
