At first on the passenger side front...it sounded like a rattle...like a chain.

go over speed bumps...sounded like a chain rattling.

I was going to get it checked, but now___

i was driving down the road and heard a smack under the passenger side gloor board (passenger felt something hit the floor board)

and now it grinds like the brake pad is bad on the passenger side.

and when i cut the wheel sharp (parking/reverse) it grinds/thwacks.


fun fun fun

:lala:

 

Have you crawled under to take a look yet? Try shaking the exhaust pipe; make sure the intermediate pipe isn't getting hit by the driveshaft's u-joint (caused by loose/missing panhard rod bolt)- but i doubt that's it; your car would be wandering down the road on it's own, and pretty badly, too.

 

I've been dealing with something similar - grinding noise on left turns, a weird clunk while doing a three point turn, etc. When I had new tires put on, the mechanic only pointed out a bad idler arm. Maybe that's something to check? Be sure to tell me if you figure it out.

 

gonna check her this weekend..ill let ya know

 

How is the turn side to side? Rough? Too hard than other cars?

I am thinking the strut mount bearing broke or something.

 

Might be. My upper mount bearing on the passenger side wore out; it gave a "groan" noise when turning the wheel. When I changed them out, you couldn't tell there was ever a bearing in there! (oops)

 

yea makes noises when i cut it to sharp and feels kinda unstable...not as precise

 

I read on another web site (I'll try to find it) that the thump under the passenger's floor board was probably caused by a broken transmission mount. Maybe something worth checking out.

 

go check your sway bar links. that's what is broken and sounds like a chain rattling. i'd replace both with poly ones if i were you.

 

Sway Bar end links broke and is hanging down and making the noise. Replace both, if that is the problem.
