The grinding noise is the brakes pads proably the noise is in the front. The front brake pads are easy to replace and is a do it yourself sort of thing. My guess is your brake light is coming on because of this condition.
I assume your brake light has been coming on for a little while now.
depends on where the grinding id coming from
Perhaps a pebble got stuck in either cv joint or in behind brake caliper
Your clutch throw-out bearing may need replaced.
It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.
If the ticking/grinding noise is coming fron the front of the car, it is probably a CV joint going bad. Outer CV joints will click as they wear out, and if that goes on long enough they will start grinding as the joint basically chews itself up.
its coming from the front end from the wheels we thought it was the wheel bearing
Bearing going bad?
Check if muffler is loose, check if rear brakes are worn out & grinding
Its hard to say... do u know where the noise is coming from?
If you vehicle is front-wheel drive, more than likely, that grinding crunching sound when you turn is coming from the CV joints.
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.
well i dont know but u can check a tracker always
