ok i need some help...i have a 97 accord and a few days ago i was drivin around and everytime i would go about 50 mph and let go of the gas i would hear a very loud sound in the back..also while i brake to when stopping at a light. Ok so then my mom took it to a mechanic (its raelly her car sonnn gonna be mine) and they said that she had to replace all 4 brakes so they supposably did that. Now everytime i drive it doesn't make that sound in the back now its in the front, everytime i turn the wheel to the right it makes a sound like it pullin on something like the wheel is about to fall out, so i took it back they said they fixed it but it still doesn that, i just want to know whats wrong with it, i think i should take it to another mechanic what you guys think?

 

A second opinion, and someone actually there to hear of what you're talking about is the best way to go. The discription is so vague, that unless you were able to record it as an audio file (we could listen to), we'd be guessing for weeks!

Is that it?
No
How about this?
No
Well, think about this?
Nope, not it.....

Could you imagine several weeks of THAT???

it is possibly the hardest thing to do ,, to help with noises over the net ,, different people interpret noises differently... it is almost a ( i need to drive the car with you to make sure we are hearing the same noise type of thing ) ..,,

You would be surprised how many customer describe a noise a certain way and when i listen to it ,, it is a totally different noise .... but anyho going back to you... chk axles, chk frt suspensions, make sure everything is tight ,

 

yea i saw his messing with the axels sayin that it was loose like i saw him moving it around..then i left the car there and went to go get food and when i came back he said that he fixed it. i saw him take it out and throw it on the floor so i'm guessin hes gonna fix it..but i guess he must have jus stuck the same one right back on and play it off..hes lucky i had someone to be. but i'm oging to check with another mechanic then

I see we have met the pretender.

 

check the cv axle boots (the rubber thingys in simple terms) make sure they aren't torn. If they are, the problem is probably that dirt is getting into the axles which might be the source of the noise. It could also be a driveshaft issue, like the others said it's a fairly broad description. an audio clip would help.
