Grinding noise is mechanical — metal contacting metal somewhere it shouldn't. The location and timing of the grind tells us the system: braking = pads, turning = CV joint, while moving = wheel bearing.
In our network we see these in roughly this order. Diagnostic comes first — never authorise a repair without a written diagnostic report.
Grinding only when foot is on the brake pedal. Pads completely worn — rotor damage building. Stop driving.
Grinding/humming that changes with speed. Often louder when turning. Bearing replacement: ₹3,500-8,500 per side.
Clicking + grinding when accelerating from a turn. Boot torn — joint contaminated. Replace immediately to avoid full axle damage.
Grinding through gear changes. Check ATF level immediately. Continued driving = transmission rebuild.
No. Each braking event with metal-on-metal contact damages the rotor (₹3,500-8,000 per pair). Tow or coast-drive carefully to the nearest workshop.
Yes — eventually the wheel can lock up or detach. A failed bearing is a safety issue, not just a noise issue. Replace within a week of detection.
1-2 weeks max. Once contamination starts, the joint wears rapidly. Boot-only replacement (₹2,000-3,500) is much cheaper than full axle (₹6,500-15,000).
