most likely it is a cv joint going bad, but it can also be a strut tower, or a tie rod... front right strut
water/friction
c/v axle is bad if its front wheel drive
A Geo Metro is a front wheel drive vehicle. When a squealing noise occurs when the wheel is turning, it can be an indication of damage to the CV joints.
most grinding noises that come from turning is usually a cv axle that needs to be replaced. Can also be a bad wheel bearing. If you hear the grinding when turning to the right then the left front wheel bearing is bad.
Worn left front wheel bearing.
Check your wheel bearings. Mine made a noise when turning right and had to replace the wheel bearings and hubs as they are all one unit on my 92.
Could be a wheel bearing
Are you sure the noise isn't in the front. Sounds like a right front wheel bearing,which is a common problem on these vans.
soounds like steering wheel fluid needs to up
Turning right loads the left front wheel of the vehicle, so if you hear the knock when you turn right the bad CV joint is on the left, and vice versa.
If it is a thumping and a front wheel drive car, it is probably one of the axles.
Can be a bad wheel bearing, caliber sticking, u-joint problem, or noise from the tire.
