Strange sound

Post by Ant_nee03 »

Just recently my car has had a sound like the tire is rubbing against something. I was just wondering If anyone had an idea as to what this could be cause by.I checked to see if there was anything rubbing but there wasn't.
What else is gonna go wrong?

i don't know if this is it, but when i used to corner my car sounded as if the left tire was rubbing and then it got worse to a judder. That's when i realised my cv joint had gone. I dunno this is one option you may want to consider looking into.
but depends if your cars lowered and stuff i guess, it may be the tire rubbing

How much does it cost to replace a CV joint, and how much work is involved? I have the same problem but in the past I replaced the whole axle instead of just joint.

Is it possible that it could be the brake rubbing because of a bad caliper or something?

Also how much did it cost you to fix the cv joint?
