Front end grinding and popping noise when turning

Hi Kenny I'm Tom.

It sound like a front CV axle to me. Is your car front or AWD? If you can see under the car at all try to look behind the front tires for the axle. There are 2 rubber boots on it. The image below is what it looks like. What happens is the boots rip and all the grease blows out of it normally then they start to grind. So look for grease on the control arm and if you get get a hold of it try to see if it has play.

Here is a guide to help walk you through the repair with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how to change out the CV axle on your car.

Hi Kenny,

Glad we could help. It's not a bad idea to do both but if your boots aren't ripped the joint inside should be fine. It's when the boots rip that the issues arise. The grease spins out and dirt gets in then that the beginning of the troubles.
