Grinding on full lock!

I hit a rather large pot hole the other day and since there has been a grinding type noise when on full lock (both ways) and acceleration. It sounds like abs/traction control type grind - but no warning lights and nothing visable to the eye. Any one had this problem too? It wasn't doing this before I hit the pot hole. Thanks

I did search mate, but its not a clunking noise as described but more of a grinding sort of sound. Going to get it checked this weekend anyway!

Thanks anyway!

abs traction control grinding noise

if you suspect the abs/traction control try pulling the fuse to disable it and see if the noise is still there. This will at least help you to narrow it down

*I don't mean pull the fuse permanently and act like it's fixed, before people go jumping the gun.
