    grinding turning left *SOLVED*

    I had a steering wheel grinding/vibration turning left, so I changed out the right side wheel bearing. I still have the grinding/vibration, still only when turning left.

    Any thoughts?

    On a side note, easiest hub assembly swap ever.

    its not so much a grinding noise, as it is a shudder i can feel in the steering wheel, but only when turning left.

        So changed the control arm and bushing, still makes noise. also replaced pass side wheel bearing, still makes noise. going to replace driver side and see if that helps at all.

          sounds like a wheel bearing. Replacing the driver side should solve it

            So finally replaced the driver side wheel bearing, fixed the problem. usually a noise/vibration turing left means passenger side issue, but it was obviously the driver side the whole time. Oh well, at least both sides now have new wheel bearings!
