Grinding noise
I have a grinding noise in the front left area of my 2004 volvo s40, it does need new breaks but im almost sure the sound isnt coming from the breaks. I'm thinking about purchasing a new cv joint tonight but i just want to be sure as I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to vehicles. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

pull the wheel off and check the brake rotor for gooves (inside and out) and pad thickness. then look at the axle boots for any leaks or tears. next I'd look at the spring - s40s like to snap the last 3 inchs off (top) which can kill the strut bearing or bottom (which can make noises). +1 on all the other suggestions. Bearing can be hard to feel but as noted can change sound with load (ie turning left or right), road speed and temperature (just starting up vs after 10 minutes).
