ok i have a talon awd that i just replaced the driverside knuckle with one that i bought that already had new bearings pressed in.

My humming noise went away that i had before with the bad bearing. But now about a day later on my way home from work i start hearing this really bad grinding noise start randomly from my front end. I can sometimes make it do it be swerving. it's very noticeable at low speeds, and can even be felt at higher speeds. It's really annoying and at first i thought i hadn't tightened my lugnuts all the way and the wheel was flopping. But that wasn't the case. the noise just sounds really bad like somethings really getting fucked up. I'm not too familiar with these cars yet. They're simple enough to work on but i don't know how to tell when a cv is bad and stuff like that.

It's apart right now in my garage with both wheels off and jacked up. Nothing seems loose and there's no play in either of the hubs or anything like that. just trying to get ideas.

Make sure your dust shields aren't rubbing against the back side of your rotors. Happened to me when I was replacing all my front end components. One bump is all it takes.

don't think it's that. because the hub/knuckle that i replaced mine with didn't have the dust shield. My passenger side does though and i recall popping off that rotor and caliper. I'll check it out though.

man this craps gotten worse. it grinds like almost all the time now. It almost feels like it's coming from the rear end. I'm definitely jacking this pile up tomorrow when i get off of work and seeing wht's goin on. sounds horrible. and i can feel it vibrating in the floor.

I don't know how it would be the transmission. It shifts perfect, way better than the other cars like this that i've driven. By how bad it's grinding now at times i hopefully will see some wear somewhere on the car. it's really annoying more than anything, and i feel cracked out driving through town when it does it.
This morning when i drove it to work it didn't do it until right about when i got to work and mad a pretty sharp right to get on to the road that leads to my work..

if its like a vib then it could b ur flywheel or presser plate im having the same prob. i thought it was my rearend going out took it in and they found out that i had a hot spot on my presser plate( one spot is higher then anthere)or if u just had a clutch put in maybe the flywheel didnt get turned.
