2001 hyundai accent
 

My daughter just bought this car and it is making a popping, grinding noise
in the front end. I suspect a C.V. joint or a wheel bearing problem.Does
anyone know how to better tell which one it could be? Your input would be
appreciated.

No vibration in the steering wheel and/or under the hood? How many
miles on the car?

Re: 2001 hyundai accent
 

The first place to start would be to list the circumstances under which the
noise occurs. Noises from different sources occur under different
conditions. I will say that popping doesn't sound like a wheel bearing.

Many thanks to all that replied. I kind of think myself that it may be a
tire or an alignment problem. The car has 62,000 miles on it.So it is just
out of warranty,for a second buyer.I am going to try rotating the tires and
get it aligned.It is a great little car for a young student. Hopefully that
will cure the problem. If anyone has any other suggestions about anything
else that I need to watch out for on this car I would greatly appreciate
any information that you can give me. Thanks again to all.
