2004 Stratus making ginding noises Sign In

We bought a 2004 Dodge Stratus a month and a half ago and now it's making grinding noises when we turn to the left. It sounds kind of like a creaky door hinge. It's a V-6 with 42840 miles. We brought it in and they said that the lower ball joint and control arm needed to be replaced. Is that true?

There's nothing like being there to know for sure.
The assembly looks like this........



This could be the source of "creaking" noises but less likely
to cause "grinding" noises IMO. Grinding seems more like brake,
bearing or CV joint issues. All need to be known good,
