Grinding noise when steering left?

[dplovin]

ive noticed that recently ive been getting a grinding noise only when steering left round a corner, as far as i know it doesnt do it when stationary just when the wheels are in motion, ill have to have another check to be 100% tho.

any ideas???

I had the same symptoms. Turned out to be the CV joint, probably worth a look

95% cv joint - cheap fix - might as well do them both (left and right)

cheers guys... dya rekon there easy to replace yourself or is it a garage job

you could do it yourself - but tracking MAY need to be done after which you wont be able to do..... i'd do it yourself and get the tracking done if you feel it;s out afterwards

do you feel the grinding through the steering wheel?

 

[dplovin]

no you cant feel anything really its just the noise, sounds like to peices of steel rubbing together or sumat like that, like when something needs oiling if you get me

 

[colicabcadam]

usually with a CV joint you'd get some kind of feel through the steering wheel - it could be the brake shield rubbing on the discs....

just get the car up in the air and have a look
