Grate response

Asked by Sue Pickett

MY 2005 Holden Cruze has a grinding, grating noise in the front end, particularly when turning right. It has now become a clicking noise. The dealer has no idea what it is, but is happy to take my money while it looks at it. What do I do?

THERE'S no way around it. You need someone to look at it if you want to trace the cause. It's probably a constant velocity joint that is either worn (unlikely at that mileage) or damaged due to hitting a kerb while cornering or parking.
