Thread: crunching/scraping noise on turns

so today after lunch i drive back to work and when i turn the corner, i hear what sounds like a scraping/crunching noise from the right side.


i'm like wtf??

so i get out and look to see if i ran over anything, well nothing.

i check to see if my tires are rubbing and nothing, i bounce the car up and down thinking it might be suspension related and no noise.


i have a coworker drive my car in a circle in the parking lot and i hear it coming from what looks to be the right side brake rotor...

teh fck??


i check the rotor and no signs of scraping or rubbing.

it sounds like the outer cv joint bearings might have excessive clearance. it's the only thing i can come up with.

So now i gotta shell out $60 for a remanned axle from Napa, apparently they don't just sell the cv joint but the whole axle shaft.


FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

i swear every day it's something new with this thing!

Sway bar bushing? I hit a pothole which caused me to get a horrible scraping noise from the front right. I thought something major was messed up because of the sound. Sounded like metal dragging on the road when I turned. But all that happened was the metal piece on top of the bushing broke and got pushed up. $10 easy fix if that's your issue.
