Our volvo 850 makes an terrible loud grinding noise coming from front passenger side. Cannot pinpoint when the noise is made as it seems to happen at any time but is more persistent after turning full lock to the right but even happens when going straight. Brakes have been checked but there is a rubber part we can see which is concertinered which is split could this be the problem?

Your wheel bearings need replaced,just replaced both front ones on my car,Then you will need to have your tires balanced,rotated and front end aligned.Mine was coming from my front driver side,it was loud,replaced,then the passenger side was making a noise,but not as loud,now it is like new.

Really need more info to help you locate and correct this problem, when does grinding occur? Just when applying brakes? at a certain speed without breaking? Same for Clunking Noise. If I had to go off the info I have I would remove wheel and check to make sure pads are still positioned correctly and check to make sure the caliper bolts and caliper bracket bolts are tight

sounds lie hubs aren't fully unlocking

Check bearings.

sounds like a wheel brg, if the noise lessens when you turn to the left while driving more than likely it is coming from the right side, but a brg makes more of a roaring noise.

It could be almost anything, but it sounds like you may have lost a front cv joint. Jack the front of the car up and put jack stands under it, and reach in and try wiggling the shaft that comes out of the transmission, one on each side, and goes to the center of each front wheel hub. If you can move one at all other than turning it, it will need to be replaced.

The fuel filter is located on the passenger side near the rear wheel well, just in front of the rear axle, around 60cm in front of the fuel tank. Look for the fuel lines running underneath the car. The filter is around 12-13cm in length and around 7cm in diameter, probably covered in road grime,

I believe you will need to replace the part that limits the opening of the door. It is found between the 2 hinges.
