ok, i need help with my accord. whenever i jerk my steering wheel right or making a right turn, it makes this scarping or scraching sound. (like you ran over a soda can type of sound.) not a clicking one. i would also hear the sound when i go over speed bumps, my car is not lower so my car is not scarping the surface. and on occassion, when i turn my wheel to the left all the way and start to back up and when i step on the gas for more speed i would also hear it. i checked my cv boots are there aer no tears or rip. so i dont know what it is. anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance.

anyone?

 

could be brake pads?? *shrug*

 

tire rubbing? unbalanced tires?

 

I am also thinking of tire rubbing. Check you're fender walls to see any rubbing on the wheelwell.

 

if my axles or ball joints are going bad or need replacement, what kind of sound or noise would they make to let me know they need to be replaced soon? i jacked the car up and nothing seems to be touching.

 

check your rear brakes

 

It may be the rotor dust sheild, It might be bent and rubbing against the rotor.
