**SOLVED** Rough grinding feeling while accelerating and turning
So just recently my car has been experiencing a rough, grinding sort of feeling when I am accelerating around a turn or bend.
It happens at speeds as slow as 35mph and upwards.
Smooth as silk when going straight -
Smooth when coasting around a turn -
Rough when accelerating around a turn.
Any thoughts?
(BTW It may or may not be related, but I did the autocross last week...)
and oh yes - my rear brake pads are getting thin but no brake pad warning light yet.

Ok, help us out a little...
1. It's a C4 right?
2. How many miles on the car?
3. Can you tell whether it is coming from the front or the rear?
4. Have you had any work done on any suspension components - wheel bearings, CV joints, differential?
5. Can you feel it in the steering wheel?
6. How much tread is left on your tires?

YES C4 TIP S
2. How many miles on the car?
50K MILES
3. Can you tell whether it is coming from the front or the rear?
HARD TO TELL - IT FEELS/SOUNDS LIKE THE REAR - BUT I SORT OF FEEL LIKE I CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING...
FEELS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN MAKING RIGHT HANDERS

SORT OF...
6. How much tread is left on your tires?

That was a C2, yours is a C4 with CV joints also in the front.

While under there we found 3 things:
1. Transmission mounts shot
2. Drive shaft flex disc on it's way out
3. Right side headlight height adjuster broken

Anyway she's an 8 year old car that's a daily driver driven through the winters....

With front drive grinding or thumping while turning generally indicates a failing CV joint.
Tighter turns and/or accelerating turns generally exacerbate the problem, more NOISE and you feel "tugging" on the stearing wheel in especially tight turns.
