A weird crunching/grinding noise has been coming from my front drivers side suspension at low speeds. Any sugestions on what's wrong? I'm thinking...cv?

My cv looks fine, i'm thinking with my handling going ot hell ,and my gas mileage not doing so hot ethier, combine with the fact my sway bar is fine...leads me to ball joint.


Anyone had one go? What is it like?

sounds like a wheel bearing, CV, or your lugnuts ;)

Balljoint would be more of a clunk noise over bumps, and/or one clunk @ turn-in.... or even no noise @ all...

Ha ha. I'm a freaking genius.

It was a combo of two things. Ball joints that were horrible, and sway bar bushing that were extremely worn out.
