Grinding noise when turing left.

ajrich · 02-16-2007, 10:11 PM

My 07 EX sedan makes a grinding noise from the front left when making a slow left hand turn. This does not happen with a higher speed turn. My thoughts are that it is maybe a wheel bearing, but not sure. Just wanted to get your opinions before making a trip to the dealer.

Go to the dealer. It could be a couple of things though. If your CV joint got dirt in it it will start to grind at the knuckle rather quickly.

I have same problem on my 06si. I'll be taking it in soon. My take is that it is either the CV or a bearing.

I have same thing, but I can't recreate it every time. I have an 06 Si with 16,000miles...

It must have been dirt and salt from all the snowy months, because I haven't heard it since the snow has went away and I got a good car wash done.

Hmm, still seems a little troubling to me though that it just went away...

I'll just drive it till my wheel falls off :)

Damn dirt roads... shoulda bought a WRX :)

there are other threads out there which might help. i just had the dealer replace my front left strut because it was making a clunking noise at very low speeds. i couldn't hear it at higher speeds due to road noise.

Is it a loud noise? Mine kind of does that, but it is more of something that I can feel not hear. It is not bad so I have not worried about it, but if it is a problem that others are having I might want to have it looked at.

Is it a cluncking, springing, or rubbing rubber noise?
this was a big issue on EPs and RSXs..

it turned out to be the spring spinning in the strut.

He's right the first time. It is a wheel bearing. He turns left and it makes the noise so it's the right front wheel bearing.

***organiz3d_chaos*** · 04-27-2007, 01:12 PM

Mine is not real loud, i have to have the radio down to hear it and it is not every time.... it is actually really hard to recreate... i would call it more of a "buzzing" though
