I have a grinding noise coming from my left front wheel. It stops when I turn or when I brake. It makes a low grinding noise as the wheels turns when I go straight. What is it? | ||

That sounds like your brakes are worn and are eating away your rotor. Have them checked as soon as you can as the more damage you do to the rotors the more it will cost you to fix it. You can also check it yourself, wait until your car cools down, take a flash light and look right into your rotor, if you see groves on the rotor you'll know thats the problem, check both front and back, if the rotor seems to be OK, check it with your finger (Make sure the car has cooled down completely for about two hours, those parts get really hot) the surface of the rotor should be pretty smooth if you have any sign of deep grooves your brakes are already spend and your pressing metal agains metal Not a good thing! |
