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? |

It only happens when I'm driving, it stay constant at any speed. When at idle it just purrs. Brakes were done like 3 weeks ago or 1500 miles ago. Doesn't seem rpm dependant but very annoying. If it were a belt, wouldn't it chirp during idle? And a wheel bearing...how do I check for that? I guess it could be the brakes but I don't know.
