Thread: Different Grindings

cv joints can click when turning or vibrate on the highway when bad.

oh and should you buy from that site, google partsgeek promo codes, the more you can buy at once aka the more you spend you can find a nice discount on top of their already lower than the auto parts store price. auto zone wants like 65 or 70 per lca, screw that ill wait for the shipping lol and my order came in less then a week.

by all means do shop around, but over and over when i search a part, these guys have better prices and better shipping rates.

The post i posted last night was concerning different grindings i was experiencing and got lots of possibilities of what could be going bad. Heres the link to the post. http://www.grandprixforums.net/diffe...ngs-57417.html

I noticed tonight that a new noise appeared, most likely because of not being able to jack my car up to; first of all, change my brake pads because they need to be done and 2nd check and fix all other problems but because i dont know anyone that can help me, i mean i do but i cant ever get ahold of them or even depend on them for that matter.

I filmed the noise best i could and i hope with this new noise i can get ideas from. Take a listen from slowing from 60mph to 35mph.

Sounds like a wheel bearing to me. Does it get louder or quieter when you turn?

If it gets louder when you turn right its the left wheel bearing. If it gets louder when you turn left its the right wheel bearing. Most likely one of the front ones.

Other than that, maybe a halfshaft?

Edit: I didn't read your other thread, not sure if this was already discussed.

Sounds like wheel bearings I'd just change both of them if i was you.

No it wasnt, this is a whole new noise and by the way, when i turn right it does seem to get louder.

I have been thinking about that all this time actually.

I would start by replacing the front left bearing with a timken..

Im not actually quite sure. I went and bought brakes, went to a garage and took off the left front tire and took out my brake pads and seen that my brakes are fine. I then put the tire back on, tightened the lug nuts and shook the tire to check for bad bearings, there was no play. I then spun the tire and didnt hear what i hear driving. Then i proceeded to the right front tire, did the same exact things to the right as i did with the left but then i noticed i had no sway bar. My dad freaked and was like "whaaaat the f...". Told me that i need to get that replaced. An kinda explained that the noise i was hearing was most likely coming from that tire because he took a ride with me and said that it seemed louder from that tire.

I took photos so everyone click the photos and see what we saw.

Any other replies?

One problem, one thread. Thanks
