    I have this grinding sound that happens when I go really slow like pulling into a parking space and it also feels like there's a little bit of friction on the front wheels I know my brakes need to be changed so maybe it could be that but I just want ideas. Also I brought it to the dealership 1 time and the dealership said that the power steering rack was leaking but I don't think it's been doing this for a long time I just recently noticed it.

    Likely the brakes. When you turn the rotors do flex a bit and that could be causing it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    apierce1289,

    If you wanted for us to follow up on your appointment with your dealership to learn more about their diagnosis, please let us know. We can be reached here on the forum through the messaging tool (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, the name of your dealership, and a brief summary of the situation).

    Well what gets me is that I never found a puddle on the ground or anything yet dealership said rack and pinion was leaking. Sounded like they think I'm stupid. Like wouldn't there be a puddle or something? I don't want to replace something if that's not the issue. Ill post my vin# and stiff when I get a chance. Thanks for the offer :-)
