help help help help

My car has been acting funny lately. ive been feeling a knocking in the car. i cant pin point the location but its been getting worse to a point that when its being driven it makes almost a grinding noise when the wheel spins past a certain point. its not the cv boot or axle ive checked that. its an awful noise. my dad says i could have hurt the transaxle? i think i damaged my tranny by being so low. you guys woould know better

i agree with them. also water in the gasoline can cause knocking also.

Is it normal for me to go thru those constantly? It seems I have to replace those every 10-14 months. I think I've had my CV replaced 4 times in the last 3 years.

I would blame the brake pads and the rotors on it but have it checked to be sure.
