Car making knocking/whirring noises when braking/turning Sign In

My car, a 2009 Toyota Venza with 104,000, miles is making some strange noises when braking and turning.

The car makes soft knocking noises when turning the wheel either direction and at most speeds. The braking sound happens unless I very gently and slowly brake (ie: I start braking like 50 ft away and let my car crawl to a stop).

I've watched a lot of videos on youtube on problems related to the turning. It doesn't sound like cv axle/joint, wheel bearing, or power steering to me, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Just trying to pinpoint what the issue is.

Here's the link to the video:

Side note: Don't mind the little rattling noise. That's just a can of soda in the cup holder.

Any idea what these issues may be? Thank you

You should be looking at your brakes, not your computer. The car needs to be inspected.

Waiting for my appointment on Thursday morning so researching in the mean time to get an idea of what I'm getting myself into.

Anything specific you think may be wrong with the brakes? Or any advice in regards to safety? I still need to drive to and from work tomorrow which will be around 50 miles total

You have an unknown brake issue. That is a safety factor in itself and you shouldn't be driving it.

Got it. Do you think that the wheel turning may also be related to brakes though? I think there are two different sounds in the video: from the brakes and from when I turn. The turning noise happens without braking so any advice in regards to that?

The possibilities are endless for those noises. I didn't get much from the video. You have to actually look at the brakes and related suspension and axle parts.

Quote OP "> strange noises when braking and turning <" OK: Agree with Hammer. That also includes wild bad bearings with it doing it then. Do not drive as he said also.
Could be "domino" effect one problem make more? Get to it,

Re: Car making knocking/whirring noises when braking/turning Sign In

Thanks to you both for your advice. I have it at the shop right now and they called me to let me know that my driver side axle was completely damaged. They will let me know if the wheel bearing is also a part of that issue once they take out the axle. Hoping it is just an issue with the axle so it doesn't cost me any more, but we will see.

They expressed the same concern in terms of safety, so thank you for warning me. I ended up hitching a ride to avoid driving yesterday and today so I'm grateful for the advice given here
