i am experiencing grinding only when turning right. when im cruising at a good speed all it takes is a slight right input to influence the grinding. recently replaced the left cv axle due to popping bout 5000 mile back. i did visual inspections on the rt cv axle and wheel bearing. anybody have any input on this?

 

jack up your car and perform the basic inspection.

check for wheel bearing (mostly likely not - you will hear humming)
ball joint
CV joint
check to see if anything is rubbing...

 

u need brake pads

 

I bet it's a left side wheel bearing. Turning right will load the left side of the car causing a bad bearing to howl. My right rear wheel bearing is going bad, the slightest left turn will cause it to make noise.

 

Ditto here except right front, makes a weird grinding sound. I really need to get around to doing it.
I also have the telltale cupping on the tread.

What do you have for alignment? I'm running -1.0 or -1.5 in the back, unsure if this would apply to me.
