- Failure or excessive wear of the wheel bearings can cause grinding or scraping sounds when the wheels are turned or braked.
Worn Brake Pads:
- Worn brake pads can make a loud scraping or grinding noise when they rub against the brake rotor.
Stuck Brake Caliper:
- If the brake caliper is stuck or seized, it can cause constant grinding or scraping noise.
Damaged CV Axle:
- If the CV axle is damaged or has a torn boot, causing grease to leak out, it can make a grinding noise when turning.
Loose or Damaged Suspension Components:
- Loose or worn suspension components, such as ball joints, tie rods, or control arms can also create grinding noises when turning or braking.
Damaged Wheel:
- If the wheel itself is damaged, such as a bent rim or missing lug nuts, it can cause grinding or scraping sounds.
To properly identify the source of the noise and address it effectively, it's recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic or automotive technician who can diagnose and repair the issue.
