Yet Another Problem

[bicklevov]

Okay well if any of you who saw my transmission problem post down the page.. I think im going to take the car in to the shop

But just in case i can fix this too...

I have a really weird grinding noise only when i turn left and its really starting to get bad. My power steering fluid was low and i filled i up but it still makes that noise. Wheel bearings? anyone have the same problem?

Oh and my effing car is out of alignment again its just retarded and im not going to care about the alignment anymore cause ive had it "fixed" 3 times in 2 months. whatever.

But any help about the grinding would be appreciated. Thanks.

Why didn't they check the bearings when they aligned the car 3 times? Jack your car up and give the wheel a good shake, and if it moves then you need new bearings.

About the alignment thing - you might check the rear lateral links. I just had my car in the shop for a tuneup (had to have the axle, cv joint, ball joint replaced, transmission serviced and other goodies) but while they were under there they noticed my right rear lateral links were slightly bent, I guess from hitting something. They said they were the cause of my car not holding an alignment. Might be something to look at.

(heh, actually just replaced the left one too because my brother tried to jack the car up using it - big no no) :P

I had the same problem with my car a couple of months ago actually, my springs were f*ckin up my struts, check the strut mounts to see if they are bending or just bent period, also check ur tie robs, the rubbers on them usually get ol and cracked. If ur alignment keeps goin out then something is stripped big time. But do what Vtolds said jack the car up and try to move the wheel around, but violent rapture u can only tell when ur bearing are goin out when u accelerate or decellerate, youd hear like a whinning sound. what kind of springs u got? or are they stock?

I have Intrax springs - car is actually going back to the shop for more work today. Can't remember what else needs to be done but apparently it was about to fall apart lol.
