Hi, new to all this.
98 clio 1.4 has just started making a high pitched whine and I don't know what it is (sounds like the noise in your head when the dentist is drilling a tooth) - it's very loud
N/s/r bearing is on its way and noisy, getting replaced next week, BUT this new noise sounded like front end. When I played around a bit I can replicate the noise sometimes, like taking a right handed corner sharply does it sometimes. Initially I thought it was the n/s/r bearing but I had to do a 3 point turn on a small road earlier and it started making the noise during the turn, then when I set off it started again so I slowed and then accelerated again - more noise... I then slowly 'pumped' the throttle and it made the noise each time I accelerated.
I believe the n/s c.f. joint it on its way out, could it be this? Or something else?
Cheers
