Technical Grinding noise when turning corner

[marty01]

Hi. Over the past couple of months I've noticed a type of grinding noise when taking fast corners turning both left and right. For example on roundabouts or slip roads. Recently this noise seems to be getting louder and more frequent even on slower turns. It sounds like metal rubbing against metal but not a squealing noise. More of a chugging dull sound. Any ideas of what this could be?

Also, I've no idea if its connected or if I'm being paranoid but the other day I thought I heard some loose metal bouncing about when I went over a speedbump. Today I was on a 50mph road and felt a thud at the front drivers side then heard metal hitting the carriageway. No idea if I just rode over something or of the car is falling to pieces. Probably needs a garage visit to put my mind at ease really.

Possible CV joints.

strut top bearings may be on their way out

Metal bouncing down the road sounds like the tip of the coil spring. Grinding noise could be cv joint if dry steering is quiet but moving backwards or forwards makes a noise. If dry steering is noisy I'd be thinking strut bearings.

Ive got a dull noise only when moving and ive replaced the top mounts. How do I go about sorting the cv joints anybody know and advise?

Just to give an update on this, it was a spring coil on the drivers side that had failed

Nice mate, I had same though it wasn't really whilst turning just a crunch over any bumps in the road. My cv joint is bust now and out sounds like what you are/were describing.

Grinding noise could possibly be the front brake heat shields rubbing slightly when steering angle is applied. I had a similar noise on my t-jet not long ago, jacked it up and had a look, prized the heat shields away slightly and now the sound has gone.
