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.

sealed bearings are pregreased and dont need grease added, but bitter is right about taper
roller bearings, too much grease is not good. our cars have sealed, pressed bearings. |
