Hey all. My '02 156k V6 is having a strange problem. I get a terrible, almost grinding sound during hard acceleration.. Only happens in 1st gear, and only in the higher RPM's, (I'd say 4k+). The sound appears to be coming from the front passenger area. Sounds like it could be something in the hub/brake system, something in the suspension, or even something in the lower part of that side of the engine bay. It's hard to describe the sound but it sounds like something is spinning, and is experiencing a lot of friction. The sound is extremely concerning.
The car is completely fine if I drive normal. No weird noises or feelings, haven't even noticed anything strange during "more spirited" cornering. I'm completely stuck. My car is mostly stock mechanically, the wheels, and coils were there long before the noise started occurring.
Thanks in advance.
