Q: On full throttle there is a grinding noise under the right hand side of the dashboard
Usually when engine is cold there is a grinding noise under normal acceleration. When the engine is hot the noise goes away. But when accelerating hard, there is this grinding noise under glovebox compartment and worsens when the suspension is compressed. This noise is not constant, or speed related
My car has 116000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
