Stupid Coolant Line Question

Hello all,
A few days ago I greased my front end while I was changing oil and eversince then when I turn the wheel to the right about 3/4 of a turn, there's this weird grinding or srubbing sound that comes from the passenger side wheel. When I crawled under it to see what I could find, I noticed a hose that was just haning there. I followed it up and it goes into my antifreeze resevoir. I can only assume that this is just an overflow line? I'd like to just make sure that it didn't come lose from somewhere. And any ideas what that nosie might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and it's a 2003 ZR2.

Yup, that sounds like the coolant reservoir overflow line, nothing to worry about there.
Your new noise is pretty difficult to pinpoint without being there. I would recommend pulling that tire and having someone turn the wheel for you so that you can listen closely for the source.
Pay particular attention to places such as ball joints and tie rod ends, and anywhere else that you greased up during your lube job.
