I have a 95 Disco and have suddenly developed a grinding noise. Not during braking, just during turning. I would know what to do if I were feeling any surge in the brakes, or play in the steering wheel, but other than setting off my ABS, everything works fine. I have disconnected the ABS, but this grinding noise is killing me. The brakes are perfect, the rotors aren't grooved at all. There is a lot of crap up there that none of my pickups ever had, but I still tend to think that it is bearings. Any ideas?

My guess...

Wheel bearings, or if it just happens when turning, you'd better check the CV on that side.

In their technical bulletin 0019, Landrover refer to a "creaking/knocking noise from the bulkhead as a result of fatigue cracks in the front bulkhead.

I suggest you read my Bulletin Board note "Metal fatigue of the firewall in a 300Tdi" which I posted at 7.06 am on November 1, 2002.

If the mounting has collapsed, the body will grind on the chassis. I would expect the noise to coincide with road bumps.
