it could be belt pulley rubbing on the timing belt cover or it could be the berries in the wheel but if its making grinding noise while ilding then def check your pulley make sure it isn't rubbing on anything or it could be the flywheel theres numbers of things to check over for the grinding noise
i have a grinding noise on the front left wheel. i have taken the calipa off and i have one brake pad that is shot. could it be that or can it still be the bearing. how can i find out.
The wheel bearing?
Sounds like you have a bad left inner wheel bearing.
97 grand am rubbing/grinding noise from right front that is not wheelbearing or brakes
Bad wheel bearings usually cause a grinding noise, and are known to only cause it when turning.
Most likely the C.V. joint needs replacing. The grinding noise is usually a sort of clicking sensation. Another problem you might have is similar the the problem i had with my clio. when i put the steering on full lock i could hear a grinding noise. the thing i did was have my car checked by a garage and they found that the suspension had shattered. you need to get it checked.
A grinding noise in the wheel will either be caused by worn brake pads, or a defective wheel bearing. Remove the left front wheel and inspect brake pads. If the brake pads are OK, you will need to remove the caliber and inspect the wheel bearing.
Yes, the differential can make a grinding sound.
The break pad.
