I am getting a loud squeal almost like metal rubbing together, When i turn my steering wheel or hit a bump i can hear it. I have no idea what it might be, anyone have any ideas? I figured it might be ball joints or tie rods, are those covered under warrent? thanks for any help

 

And you eliminated brakes?

 

How many miles are on you car? The best thing is to take it in to the dealer.

 

I don't belive that is the point of this forum...


Anyway, I would check both brake pads (the inside ones since they wear faster) and see if the wear indicator is rubbing on the rotor. That would be the very first thing I would check. Good luck!

 

I checked brake pads and it's definately not it. If im standing at a stop and i turn the wheel it is a harsh sound, some guy said bal joints he also said possibly the tie rod. I have 95000 on the car now so it is due to have some problems but i didnt think that they would be that severe. I need to get prepped for the stealership!

 

dont worry at 62k i am getting the same problem, took it to my boy over at the dealership he said that my ball joint was dry and needs greasing. Got an appointment this saturday to go, let u know if that was the problem on hand

 

FYI the noise started after that ridiclous snow stormwe had , did it start after the snow storm?

 

Oh bro good lookin out, yeash it was after the snow storm aboutr two to three days after. Where you go acura in bk?

 

I had the same problem..

 

All it took was just grease?

 

If a ball joint need greasing, why go to the stealership for this? Doesn't seem like it would be very difficult to do? Besides, I don't know about your dealers, but if I take my car to the dealer, they screw something else up in the process of reparing the original problem, which, by the way, won't be repaird right the first time either. I've seen it a hundred times...

 

my best friend works at acura in brooklyn, so he hooked it up, just greased the ball joints and i was good to go, dealerships are great if u got someone there to look out for u other than that i dont go to them at all!

 

i went to the mechanic they said they couldnt grease the ball joints because there are no grease fittings...wtf
