I have a 1999 Accord and when i am driving there is a loud grinding noise that is coming from the back of the car. It mainly happens when i turn the wheel to the left and when i turn the wheel to the right it goes away. Does anybody know what this could be? Any help would be great. Thanks

does the noise change when you brake? Sounds like a bad caliper.

 

no it stays there when i brake but it goes away slightly if i jerk the wheel to the right. It sounds like when the brake pad grinds on the rotor but i just had my brakes replaced like a month ago. and it doesnt go away when i brake.

 

sounds like a bad wheel bearing if the car still does it when the brake pedal is put down. Usually, if the sound increases when turning to the left, and decreases while turning to right, it would indicate that the passenger side wheel bearing is bad. does it get louder the faster you go?

 

yeah it does. its really weird cuz it doesnt happen all the time but once it starts it doesnt go away until i jerk the wheel to the right. But when i turn left again it comes back

 

Jack the car up, and turn each wheel. You should be able to hear or feel the bearing grinding.

 

okay ill give that a try. Thanks for the help
