Loud noise when turning the steering wheel

Post by chrish2213 »

I have just brought an 10 year old corsa, when I go around corners there is a loud, almost grinding noise coming from the front wheels. I imagine its some kind of rubber pad to stop metal grinding away??

What do I need to buy?
Is it difficult to do myself?

cheers

your not giving us much information that mate, does it do it on both wheels? does it do it at low speed? etc.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

It sound much closer to the wheel.
Ive just researched the CV thing and doesnt seem to be it. Whats closer to the wheel and can wear away with time??

Thanks for the help :)

brakes or bearings. jack your wheels up and give them a turn and check for movement vertically and horizontally and give them a spin too
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)
