In the recent past, I have noticed that there is a teeth grinding noise coming from the front especially from the lower passenger side area. Especially when reversing or when coasting and or deceleration. But not on acceleration.
What might be the problem and how can it be sorted out? Thank you

If i am off base can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
