i install a new cv joint but the growl sound like the old one is there when turning?

Answer 1

A bad CV joint makes a click, click sound for the outer and a clunk, clunk sound for the inner when turning. If, it a growl this is not the CV. May be a bearing as mentioned above or check the brake pads for wear. Also, look around inside the Wheel Wells, see if there a shinning spot where the tires may be rubbing.

Answer 2

There are Four CV joints on a front-wheel-drive vehicle. It is in fact easier and often times cheaper to replace the entire half-shaft assembly when changing CV joints. While the outers do wear quicker than the inners, it is not unheard of for the inners to fail, and if the whole half-shaft assembly is just a little bit more than a single CV joint and much easier to change, why not do the job right and have peace of mind?

Also, as another answerer stated, a failing CV joint is more likely to make a clunking or clicking sound. A growl is more indicative of a failing wheel bearing.

Answer 3

Drive down the road and turn the wheel slightly to the left and right. If the noise is noticeably worse in one direction than the other, It's a wheel bearing. CV joints don't usually growl. They make a snapping noise.

Answer 4

Is this by any chance a golf, if the noise is still there then it obviously was not the CV! On two of my golfs one time was a bearing in the gearbox so the actual driveshaft was rubbing on the housing of the gearbox and the other time it was the wheel bearing, CV´s normally click not growl

Answer 5

If it starts growling when you are turning and you have already rulled out the CV joints then the next suspect would likely be you power steering pump.

Answer 6

I agree with the wheel bearing diagnosis. My '02 Volkswagen had a distinctive growling sound when turning then we replaced them and all was well.

Answer 7

You might want to check your wheel bearings. Hope this helps.
