Damnedest thing I've ever heard. When making a turn, only to the right, and at speed, there is this awful grinding noise from the drivers front. I've inspected the fender liner for rubbing and that's not it. I have looked under the car to inspect all the bolts in the suspension and can't find anything visibly wrong. I'll see if I can find an open parking lot and get an audio clip but I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this odd grinding noise as well.

 

Your bearings may be bad. I had a similar experience. I replaced the whole hub and the noise went away.

 

Any aftermarket mods like exhaust? I had the same issue. Turned out to be the exhaust shifted after a few months.

 

Rock stuck behind brake dust shield?

 

Stock exhaust but recently cut out the secondary cats


Hmm, I'll have a look tomorrow!

 

Recently had a similar noise, although when turning to the suspected side I could feel it as well. As mentioned above bearings were bad and a new hub solved my problem!

 

Wow guys! Talk about timing when I saw this I was about to post the exact same symptoms that I have going on right now when I turn left and upon acceleration I feel a vibrating and hear what sounds like something rubbing/grinding?


My first thought was that we didn't tighten everything properly when we installed headers? But after reading this it sounds like it's my bearings in the hub and that'll probably solve the issue?

How much were the hubs and where did you guys get them from?

Edit: I posted in an existing thread on hubs from Rock Auto with info

Thx

 

Well hopefully good news for me, maybe not for you guys but I'll keep my fingers crossed. I jacked up the car and did a quick visual inspection and tried to rock the wheel back and forth to check for a loose bearing and nothing was out of whack. I turned the wheel to the inside and found the front mudflap/diffuser/whatever, had thrown a couple bolts and at some point caught on the wheel and rotated to the inside. It's back in place but I haven't had time to go for a ride and confirm this was the issue. You can tell the edge is pretty chewed up.

 

I'm throwing my car on the lift on Sat to check to see if I have any play in the bearing, or hopefully something less expensive like what you found (fingers crossed)?

 

This is so weird, I have a steering noise as well when I turn to the right at low speed from my passenger front and it started after header install,

 

Really???? How long have you had your headers installed? And have you diagnosed the noise further?

 

couple weeks ago , but my car is a garage queen so I have probably put about 100 miles since install, I'm going back to my mechanic next weekend ill report back

 

Ok, sounds good I'll report back when I find out what my issue is as well

 

Those air dams are a PITA. I've been through three of them in the rear. They're not well connected to the car at all. The fronts aren't nearly as bad as the rear, but if you drive over something - park too close to a curb or stop - you'll tear up the front ones. The wife nearly ripped off the entire bumper cover once when she parked too close to a parking stop. The damage is when you leave, you won't notice it when you park.
