Cracking sound from wheels when turning

[wangxiaodi]

Lately the wheels or below the car produced cracking noise whenever I make left turn. Or especially I make an up slope left turn. The cracking noise at the wheel will be audible. 

 

And it comes and go randomly. Sometimes few days also don't have. And 1 night,suddenly it become quite bad. Then next day it is ok again. 

 

What could be the fault? Some say it is bearing?

Sorry, it should be Drive Shaft.

Probably CV joints if it's front wheel drive. Just send into WS to check.

Wear out,well,just telling a sound without seeing the Car,we only can guess the fault....not accurate..the best go to a Workshop good in Korean Cars...Harmony Motor is good in it.

Need to replace drive shaft ..

Don't just change the left side only, always change pairs ...

I know some ppl want to save $$ and change on the noisy ones...

Should be CV joint. Just go workshop and jack your car to inspect and replace asap.

whats the rationale of changing both sides if the other side is fine.

I rather pay one time labour cost and change both as if one got problem, the other will follow soon.

Changing the drive shaft will need to do alinement to the wheels and everytime, the wks will charge $15 ~ $25/- per alinement. So if you change one at the time, you will pay twice for labour & wheels alinement when you change the other one.
