I have what sounds like metal-on-metal contact when I make right hand turns. This noise has progressively gotten worse. Now I can hear the noise on bumps and even light turns. Anyone have advice or info for me?
edit: These cars handle REALLY well. Good steering system and 2400 lbs makes my car handle like a brand new Acura RSX! I can tell you this, my 143k mile 6GC handles MUCH BETTER than my '99 twin turbo 3000GT VR-4! The VR-4 is AWD too.

I replaced my driver side too.. it was pretty bad. The easiest way to check, like someone said, is to lift the car and wiggle the wheel. side to side top to bottom. Id pull it yourself and take it somewhere.. It will be much cheaper than just having someone do it.
Also, why are our cars infamous for wheel bearings going out? |
