Awful Grinding Noise.. What The Hell Its It?

[Matt]

Damn.... was really hoping that was it. Grinding noises ARENT good otherwise...

Ok... do you have a parking lot somewhere you can toy around with it? I'd like to know what it does with the wheel at full lock left driving in circles and then full lock right driving in circles.

If it makes a noise in either of those cases, try lightly applying the brakes and see if the noise changes.

I'll go and try this ^^^. I just got off the phone with the parts manager at my local dealer. He's a good friend with my brother in law who is a salesman there. He thinks by my description it may either be wheel bearings, or the cv shaft.

That's pretty much where its headed lol. The tight turns will stress both those items the most.
