Rubbing Noise:
- Consistency: A rubbing noise is typically continuous and noticeable at all speeds.
- Turning: It may become more pronounced or change in intensity when turning the steering wheel.
- Speed Dependency: The rubbing noise might vary based on the vehicle's speed, becoming louder or quieter.
Grinding Noise:
- Intermittent: A grinding noise often occurs intermittently or may become persistent under certain driving conditions.
- Acceleration/Deceleration: The grinding noise might be more noticeable when accelerating or decelerating.
- Sharp Turns: It may become louder or more pronounced during sharp turns or at low speeds.
- Intensity: Grinding noises are usually more intense and distinct compared to rubbing noises.
If you suspect that the noise is coming from a CV joint, it's important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately identify the source of the noise and address it appropriately.
