Default Car came out of w/ a alignment done today...

My hatch came out of the alighment shop today...and guess what? Well, the car drives straight....but after driving it for a while...i began to hear some noises coming from the left side of my suspension.

Description of noises: The noises are very simuliar to the noises on the freeway...if you were going to drive fast...then the tires would spin a lot faster and give that loud tire spin noise. But in my case...im doing 30-40 mph and the freeway tire spin noise is there! It's horrible! Any suggestions?

I duno,
i'd probly check for any rubbing, jack it up,
go over it thoroughly with a flashlight.. check for anything out of the ordinary.

then go back to the alignment place and tell them about your problem.

It sounds like it could be a bad hub bearing, or simply uneven tire wear.

well...i thought it was my bearings, axles, or possibly even my rotor...when really it was my LUGNUTS that were loose. And i was driving on the freeway after the alignment @ 80mph. I could've died....the lugnuts were SOOO loose that i can twist it off with my two fingers! Im going to call their asses tomorrow and make a complaint!

DONT DO YOUR ALIGNMENT OR ANYTHING @ Anderson's Shop located on Western & Garden Grove Blvd....across the street from Inline Four. (unless you want to die and wait 4 days for your car to be able to drive)

hmm..

no offense inteded, but we probably could have told you that if you had explained what it sounded like better.

i'm suprized at how often this happens,
people talk about a funny sound.. but fail to really let us know what they mean.
