Front Grinding Noise

Aldor27 · 02-11-2024, 05:06 PM

My 340i has recently developed what sounds like a grinding noise whenever I am turning left and on any level of throttle. It sounds like it’s coming from the front right wheel. The grinding noise isn’t there when off throttle and turning left. I took the wheel off and checked to see if anything is grinding on the rotor or wheel. Verified nothing is. It sounds a little similar to the infamous ebrake cable hitting the driveshaft but I already fixed that years ago. I’m not too sure where to look next, have any of you experienced something like this? I’ve attached links to where you can hear the grind. Ignore the turbo spool.

It's very hard to hear from the audio. Does it happen if you are standing still and turning the wheel or only when traveling forward? I would double check the ebrake/driveshaft. I had to replace mine also a few years back. Now I have a grinding sound when turning right or left. Was suggested it was the front front top mount.
