Guys, I know one of these is for tie-rods and one's for ball joints when checking the wheels on a jack, but which one is which?
Question 2) I noticed when I'm driving close to trees along the road or a guardrail, I can hear my car making a whistle sound on the pass. side (sounds a little like squeaky brakes), but all brakes were replace 3 weeks ago. No coolant loss and I don't "think" the belts are causing the noise...any ideas? |

How many miles have you done on your new brakes?
You can check if it's your belts by removing them (Or just the alternator belt in some cars, I think, including the 7A-FE), starting the enigne with the bonnet open and see if you've solved the noise. Obviously without the alternator connected you'll discharge your battery if you keep running the engine, but you'll be fine doing this as a diagnostic check.
