Hi All,

I recently noticed a grinding/clicking noise coming from my rear right tire when making a sharp left turn. This only happens occasionally. I have a 2002 ZX2 with only 33,000 miles on it. Just had a full inspection and all new tires added about three weeks ago. Any thoughts on what it might be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

 

Grinding and popping are usually classical symptoms of a bad wheel bearing, but seems unlikely at only 33K miles. The noise is also usually more noticeable in curves and turns because it places more stress on the bearing. I'd have it checked to see if that's the problem or not.
