What causes a grinding noise when turning the wheel?
The typical cause of grinding noises when turning the steering wheel is low power steering fluid. The power steering fluid reservoir should be checked and the fluid topped off if it is low. Air trapped in the system from leaks or recent repair work will also cause a grinding noise.

What causes a clunking noise on the driveline?
Cause: Bad wheel bearings Noise: Driveline squeaking or grinding at any speed Cause:Worn or damaged U-joints Noise: Clunking when depressing the throttle pedal (takeoff) Cause:Worn U-joints; worn spider gears; worn axle splines; excessive gear backlash; loose yoke splines; worn slip yoke splines Noise:Clunk immediately after taking off from a stop
“I would get the jack out and jack the left front up off the ground and spin the wheel. It should turn fairly easy, but it won’t free=spin due to the brake pads rubbing the rotor. While spinning the tire listen for any weird noises. You should hear nothing except the very faint rub of the brake pads.
Why does my rear drum brake keep grinding?
Grinding could also be an indicator of lack of lubrication in vehicles with rear drum brakes. The brake shoe (the component that presses on the rotor to slow the vehicle) could be scraping on metal contact points like the backing plate, due to rust.
Why does my steering wheel shake when I apply the brakes?
Wobbling, Vibration or Scraping When Braking Shaking in the steering wheel or vibration when you apply the brakes may be the result of an uneven rotor. Brake rotors are big discs that sit inside of the wheels. When you hit the brake pedal, the brake pads hug the rotors, slowing them and your vehicle.

The rotor can also rub against the caliper, scraping its metal surface. If left unchecked for long, the brakes will get broken down severely. 3. Worn-out Rotor Discs
Can a new set of brake rotors cause steering wheel vibration?
These can have been in the car from new and it is interesting to note that many car manufacturers actually machine the rotors on the car to align them to the car. Subsequent replacement with a new set of brake discs or brake rotors will result in steering wheel vibration unless the rotors are re-aligned on what is called an “on car brake lathe”.
Can you drive a car with grinding brakes?
