7060, Weird noise during sharp right turn
Posted by fauchpj, Feb-24-02 09:03 AM
i was pulling into a parking space and made a sharp turn and my car let out this moan/squeal. kinda like the sound steel makes when it bends. any ideas on what this could be?

something's rubbing. goto a mechanic and ask for a brake check, just a check. and ask them to show you what's up. if you can watch them work. if that's not it you may need an alignment. you do appear to have changed your ride height

they don't replace them if there's not enough play. go back and tell them to lift on the control arms and not the frame. if you lift on the control arms the ball joints will show more play. when i went in the first time they didn't do this and just "applied sealant" then when i went to get aligned at work they checked my ball joints with the car lifted on the control arm and there was alot more play, illegal amounts of play. no this isn't a trick to con people into getting work done they won't show play unless it's really there go back and tell them you want it done right.

the mechanics at the dealership make commission if they do recall work they get paid less than if you pay out of pocket.

That blue interior sucks doesnt it?

My interior is not all the way done. I just have to do some little pieces around the back side windows. I dont have a digital camera so when i take pictures i want to make sure that everything is done because film/developing gets expensive. But you can expect some pictures pretty soon
