Grinding noise when breaking and/or Sharp turning

Asked by KDotPS26 Sep 15, 2017 at 11:57 AM about the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I first noticed that whenever I come to a complete
stop that it grinds for about a second. Also when
doing a 3 point turn per say, it would a very
noticeable grinding noise. So at first I thought I
needed new brake pads, but now I'm thinking a
new CV joint as well, but I'm not 100% sure

Best thing to do is pull the front wheels and inspect the brakes. CV joints do not normally make a grinding noise unless the axle bearing is bad, allowing the CV joint to come in contact with something.
