Grinding when turned full locked to the left
I haven't had a chance to really crawl under and check it out (At work), when I turn my wheels all the way to the left like while turning theres a nasty grinding sound. I glanced real quick when I got to work and didn't see anything obvious, cv's look fine etc..
Any ideas what I should look for tomorrow when I have some time to crawl under there and check things out?

My guess is its your steering stop. Looks like this:

What happens whe you turn your wheels all the way to the right? CV joints my look ok but may still be bad. What you are describing is how you can actually tell when your cv joints are bad. Go into a parking lot and turn the wheel untill is stops and then drive in circles. Unless it is your tires rubbing your wheel wells I would bet that it is the cv joint.

That is possible but to me it does not sound like a grinding but more of a loud popping/squeaking and is not real bad on a flat even surface. You really need up and down wheel travel while turned to full lock to really notice this.

I've experienced this problem myself... I had both problems... the easy one was the steering stop (like shown in mastacox's pic), used some heavy grease like matt16 said, the other was one of my CV axles was going... so I replaced that. Tada, no more noise. Try greasing the stops first like mentioned above, and if you still have noise, look at the CV axle.
