Hi guys hope someone can point me in the right direction here.

When i go to park or make a tight left turn I get a horrible grinding noise coming from the drivers side. its fine when driving or turning right.

Only jus tstarted this when i got it back from the garage last week after they fixed the leaking high pressure fuel pump.

Could it be CV joint or Power steering?


Cheers

This is usually caused by the brake disc rubbing on the splash sheild due to slop in the hub (bearing). When you turn, it puts sideways thrust on the hub, which moves enough to let the disc make contact. Means a new bearing, more usually a new steering hub with the bearing fitted.

Would this have the hub and bearing?

It does, but it fits the wrong end. The grinding is from the front end. The usual fix is a new steering /swivel hub complete with bearing.

Could it be the bearing in the top of the offside strut?

Item 5 is the bearing kit (which includes a new nut (item 5). This is what you need for DIY fitting, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you have some experience and access to a proper bearing press. A garage should be able to do it for you. The 'easy' DIY fix is to replace the complete swivel hub (Item 1)but with the bearing already in place. Rimmer will help on this. You shouldn't need a new wheel hub (Item 7). Bearing is handed (has ABS reluctor ring on one end). It must be entered the correct way.

Note that the hub nut is EXCEEDINGLY tight and often requires a scaffold pipe to get enough torque. Same with replacement. Resetting torque is large, maybe beyond most DIY wrenches.

Hence the earlier advice.

Strange thing now just drove home tonight after doing around £50 miles and when i wen to park up it had stopped making the niose. was just getting a slight squeek from the power steering.

If its stopped raining Ill get the wheel off tomorrow and have a look suppose it could have been a stone lodged in there or something.

Jack it up & jiggle the wheel to check for play, alternatively it could be the tyre rubbing on the wheelarch liner as they would certainly have had that off to do the HP pump

Well Solved it!!!!!!!!

Should have looked at this earlier all it turned out to be was the wheel arch liner had moved about an inch and was rubbing on the tyre. Fixed it back up and sorted!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel like a bit of a dipstick now:getmecoat:

I Bow to your vast knowledge!!!

Really should have looked as the brake sensor wire was broke as well so fixed that as well.
