Strange grinding noise
A week ago I made a pretty fast u-turn (at about 30 mph). Ever since then, I have been feeling a grinding from the front wheels when I stop accelerating and ease up off the accelerator in 5th/6th gear, usually around 80+mph. It is minor enough that I am not sure if it's my imagination, but do you think I could have damaged anything doing the u-turn?

More details needed please . . .
Where are you feeling this "grinding"? Is it in the steering wheel, brake pedal? Somewhere else? Is it something you are also hearing?
Just how violent was this u-turn? Did the car bounce across the pavement towards the outside of the turn during this manuever?
It is possible you could have knocked something loose.
Is it a loud grinding or a soft/quiet one?

I can only hear the grinding and it seems to be coming from the front wheels, but there is no vibration in the steering wheel. The u-turn was not hard enough to make the car skip or skid. It is pretty soft.
