Look inside the wheel well at the plastic shield that prevents water from splashing into the engine. Turn the wheels fully left and fully right and inspect the plastic for any type of wear from the tire hitting it when the wheel is turned. The shields sometimes make their way lose and land it the way of the tire when fully turned. There's a small plastic nut that holds these on that could have fallen off (near the front).
