Car makes Grinding Noise
Car makes Grinding Noise
Hello guys,
As the title refers to, my car makes grinding noises when I make left or right turns. I believe it is related to some kind of joints in the suspension up front. What specific part needs replaced? Feel free to ask questions so I can give you more information. Thank you
Sincerely,
A A ron

Re: Car makes Grinding Noise
Does it only do it when the car is moving?
Get the front of the car up in the air, use jack stands on the pinch welds or subframe so the suspension can droop. Grab the wheels and try moving them, see if anything is loose or makes noise when you move it.
Put the car in neutral (engine off) and spin the wheels, does it make any noise?
Take the wheels off and look at the brakes, see if anything is scraping or if the brakes are worn out. Also try moving suspension parts now that the wheel isn't in the way

Re: Car makes Grinding Noise
Well, upon further investigation, it was the brake dust covers that were grinding against the rotor. I bent them back and the problem has been resolved. turns out i'm gonna need ball joints replaced lol
