Hey yall, I have a question. My 2000 SE auto has 49,700 miles on it. Just recently, i noticed that when i first leave my house and accelerate, i hear a churning or grinding noise and it sounds like it's coming from the front right wheel. When i let my foot off of the gas or brake it doesn't do it but only when i accelerate. I need some advice on what this could be. Could something be caught in my wheel or is it something else?

 

What about around corners? So far, first guess would be to have your wheel bearing(s) checked.

 

I have recently heard the same thing when accelerating but more frequent when turning and accelerating to either side. i installed the place racing intake and then the sound came about. i am thinking the intake is hitting something due to the vibration suction of the air. but haven't had time to take a look at it again.

 

Wheel bearing, possibly. More likely would be a bad CV joint.
