View Full Version : Noisy car...

My Little Car has recently developed a fun new grinding/dragging sort of sound.
It happens only when turning to the right, only above a certain speed, only when not using the brakes.
I hear it most when making a tight turn, like when turning onto one street from another.
I hear nothing when maneuvering slowly around a parking lot.
It seems to be coming from the front end, hard to tell.
Any ideas? This is something new; I haven't yet pulled a wheel or crawled underneath the car.

Thanks,

G

Get your engine mounts checked. I had the same problem after an accident. That's my idea anyways. If not that, check the exhaust, something might be banging down there.

when one of the heatsheilds on my exhaust came loose, it was dragging on the ground and made a nice grinding sound. or maybe you have a worn wheel bearing? that would do it.
