Like the title sais, well ive got this loud squealing noise coming from my drivers side front tire/spindle area. It becomes louder while turning left sharply and softly and does not stop unless the car is completely not moving.

another issue is my drivers side front tire's camber is out of spec and into the negatives according to my alignment print out (-0.7) or something. the guys at town fair tire said that something in that area is causing the car to be out of spec could this be an issue caused by the issue above?

And lastly, whenever i apply the brakes my steering wheel shakes a bit and the car steers off to the left. now i know theres a good chance i need rotors and pads because of warpage but could this also happen if say..a wheel bearing is no good?


I really need some suggestions before i go and spend money at the mechanic that i diddnt have to spend ya know? thanks HT!!!

It kinda sounds like your wheel bearing is going out or rather is out, i dont know if it affects the camber issues but i dont think it would help if that is what it is and you probably just need a brake job which isnt a big deal, if it is the bearing, that might be a little pricy. Like i said i might not be right but when my bearing went out it was screaming pretty loud and the only reason i knew what it was, because on my fullsize they both went out and it was screaming also. hope it helps.

 

hey, thanks! that does help.

mabe you can help me with just one more little thing. Would you happen to know if its completely necessary to swap out the brake MC when you swap the stock dx knuckles with DA knuckles? i found a full set for 150 and im buying them next week and i would like to know ahead of time so i can get a MC or not. thanks!!!

 

the squeeling sounds like a wheel bearing, jack the car up and pull on the wheel, if there's any play then it's going. and change the rotors, they seem warped. Either that or your lugs aren't torqued evenly, and you may be able to fix it my retightening. not sure about the mc.

 

thank-you!

 

I got darear disc swap on mine and didnt have to ust the mc, im not sure about the front knuckles.

 

no you dont have to run the da mc. i didnt in my da knuckle swap because i used the same calipers. no need to switch em unless you are changing to a bigger caliper or adding rear disc which isnt manditory but advised.
