just some plastic leaving your car........
ah hah, you fooled me when you wrote "grinding/SCRAPING" in the title. Try a very tight turn at a very slow speed (1st gear slow as you can) on a level area (vs. a hill) and see if it does the same thing. I hear something when I do this and have always assumed it is a property of the AWD setup.That's definitely not it but thanks. It seems that the AWD system or differential is bugging out in certain situations. I've scraped in my old car on occasion. This isnt a scrape. You can feel and hear it under the car (like a vibration and sound similar to when ur brakes are trying no to lock).
What is this noise?!?! I pull out of my garage and then driveway with my steering wheel turned completely either way at <<15 mph, in first gear. My car is stock. I also used to hear this noise on my '07 Impreza 2.5i with my steering wheel completely turned too. Does it have something to do with the steering column (like I know what I am even talking about) not being able to handle the full steering wheel turn turns? (I have no idea what I am talking about here :wigglesah hah, you fooled me when you wrote "grinding/SCRAPING" in the title.

Its the traction control and differentials Dont forget these cars have all wheel drive and this usualy happens when a wheel is coming off the ground due to the angle at which u are going up /down the driveways.What is this noise?!?!

Seriously? Your car's wheels do not leave the ground. Maybe if you are 4-wheeling through the woods or such, but not in normal driving. It would take a HUGE difference in angles of one part of the road to another to actually bring a tire off the ground and such places are extremely rare anywhere you'd drive a car. This is not the problem here. It very well may be because of the TCS, but is not because a wheel is actually coming off the ground.Its the traction control and differentials Dont forget these cars have all wheel drive and this usualy happens when a wheel is coming off the ground due to the angle at which u are going up /down the driveways. So what happens is that the wheel isnt touching the ground
I live in Los angeles and a lot of parking lot entrances are very small and angled here. Im not making it up. It even happemed when i am picking up friedns and family and pulling into angled driveways. They have seen the rear inside wheel come off the ground multiple times and theyve told me. I have also seen it happen with my friends 04 sti. Maybe its because la is so packed and a lot of lil entrances are very angled, or because theyre small in size you have to take them at an angle so u wont scrap your sideskirts. I learned that the first time i went to look at my new aprtment with a very narrow entrance into the driveway. These cars have a pretty stiff chassis, and not that much suspension travel so saying that its impossible is really weird since its a regular occurrence here in LA. I see all the time other cars.Seriously? Your car's wheels do not leave the ground. Maybe if you are 4-wheeling through the woods or such, but not in normal driving.

I will say that the wheel isnt off the ground for very long i mean were talk half a second or a second or so but dudring that time, under power there is slip which cause the tcs to go off.
