I have a clicking/rubbing sound coming from my front drivers wheel area. It seems to have gotten worse lately. At first I only noticed it when I turned the wheel all the way to the left (U-turn). Now I notice it with any slight turn of the wheel to the left, and even going straight sometimes. It get louder hte more the wheel is turned, and is more frequent at higher speeds (closer clicks). It happens every time I turn the wheel.
I would guess CV joint, but I am not very knowledgeable with suspension parts/troubleshooting. Any help? |

I dont know if they were the rotors or not. I dont understand how even if they are rusted, they will be making noise. The rusted contact part should wear off with a few brakes.
The "scraping" noise has been there for the past few months. Earlier this week it got louder, and more consistent, as well as it occured with less turning of the wheel (I could hear it going straight, as opposed to only hearing it during a uturn before). Changing out the axle did somewhat fix this porblem. I can only hear the noise when I turn the wheel again (dont hear it going straight) And it is better to be safe than sorry. Im almost glad I didnt spend 10+ hrs trying to do this myself only to find out that the axle wasnt the problem... |
