M reg Escort TD - grinding, steering???

Sep 08, 2003 1 Replies

Hi hope someone can help me on this one. I drive an M reg Escort TD 114,000 on the clock and have recently acquired a new noise to my car. I have spent too much as it is fixing it. So I just wanted some advice as too weather I can afford to leave the problem for a little bit.



When I slow down to a halt and the steering wheel is turning I get a horrible grinding noise. The noise isn't constant, but it is there when I slow down. Thing is I had my brakes replaced in May and my car has just passed it's MOT. Nothing was mentioned by the garage. I'm at a loss as I don't know a lot about cars, I have to trust what a garage tells me.



Can anyone advise me to what the problem might be??



Thanks



Sarah

Brake pads down to the metal? Sometimes slight play in the wheel bearings means that it's worse when turning.
