ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    squeaking noise when making turns

    Pretty much everytime I make a turn left or right I can hear some type of squeaking, not sure if it's coming directly from the steering wheel or not. When I turn the wheel while in one spot there is no noise only while im in motion. Any ideas what it might be? Thanx.

            I took mine to les schwab the other day for the same problem, and for pulsing when I brake. They diagnosed a tie rod on one side and bushings on the other that are worn and need replaced. My car hit 290k miles today. If you take it to them they will diagnose and quote your problem for free. Then chose to fix it yourself or take your quote somewhere else and have them check your problem for free and compare them.

                  Sounds like ball joints are the consensus.. but I'm not sold, any other symptoms? (predominantly on bumpy roads.. on smooth pavement.. only during beginning of drive.. or after you've been driving awhile?)

                      Pretty much whenever I make a turn, when its a long curve it'll do it the whole time doesn't really matter how long I've been driving it or not.

                        Ok Thanx man, did u do urs urself? I noticed when I get to 65ish mph my car starts vibrating too, I'm hoping thats just because of my bad tires tho.

                          they quoted me $500. I haven't got it done yet. Im gonna research the parts and possibly get a second opinion. I replaced my front tires which were almost bald and the problem almost went completely away. So my plan of action is to get it checked out at a different shop and see what they find wrong.

                            Not sure how mechanically inclined you are, but this might help you or others..

                            Alot of the time shops will lift the car up and do this exact test. Others will try to shimmy them with a crowbar which always seemed sketch to me, but I guess these chassis parts should be strong enough. I was going to list steps.. but there's a thread already..

                            And good luck, I'm sure you can do the job yourself its a PITA but most autoparts stores have rental tools specifically for this.
