  • Squeals when making right hand turns?

    Whenever I make slow broad/tight right hand turns my car makes a low toned squeal. I just took it to the shop. They checked brakes, powersteering pump, the back end...and found nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? The sound seems to be coming from the front.

    Also the car has been T-boned on the drivers side right behind the door. I only found this out recently bc a few signs showed it. Maybe this pinched something?

    Any advice would be great. Thanks.

    If it is a real low growling noise, it may be a wheel bearing. If you put the front wheels off the ground, kinda wobble each wheel like you where trying to turn the car...if that makes any sense. If a bearing is starting to go bad, you will notice slop in the wheel that is causing the problem, kinda like the lug nuts are loose if it is real bad. I don't really know how to describe it.

      I believe they checked all the bearings as well bc I had it in to fix two lugs. They crossthreaded my bolts when I first got my wheels, so they had to break em off to get em off.
