Well heres the case, i was driving today and all of a sudden there was like a grinding noise coming from the front. It doesnt make the noise when i step on the brakes only when my car is moving. Even when the car is off or in neutral it makes the noise. I notice its coming somewhere from the wheels. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how i might get rid of it?

 

Check the inner fender wheel lining... A tab/ screw could have come out! If thats the problem, it will hit/ rub against the tire and make a nasty noise!

can you describe the "noise" deeply or not?

There can be about 10,000 "noises" coming from the front end only when not braking.

 

hm iono how to describe the noise, buts its not the fender. its like when my car is rolling and im not gasing it, it makes a wierd grinding noise. im not to clear on how im going to make the noise on this. but im sure its from the wheel area.

 

check your car's break pads, Normally if your at a slow roll and hear grinding it mean's there's no more breaks and its to the bare pad. my mom has this problem right now actully and we found out what it was.

 

break pads.. Sometimes there can be rocks that cut up behind the dust cover.. or maybe your hearing things, im kiding,but check behind the dust cover of the breaks.

 

could be a belt, belt tensioner or pulley

 

open that hood up and start listening to everything. Get a scope that the doctors use..
mechanic's use them also

 

as above have said, brake pads...

fender liners don't stop scraping when you hit the brakes... belts don't make any noise if the engine isn't running, nor do they grind for that matter

 

serioiusly man, take off the wheels and look and see if u got a rock in your break cover.. happens alot.

 

your brake pads need to be replaced, and since its making a grinding noise...you probably should go get a new set of rotors too.

 

prob the brake pads or something with the motor. or evern the backing plate

 

nvm found out wut it was, just somehow my wheel was coming loose. and 3 out of the 4 lugnuts were loose. iono how they started loosening themselves but yea i tighten them and now no more sound.
