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? |

Unlikely to be the pads after 1,500miles unless that was entirely on clear motorways with little breaking.
You can play about with listening to the front wheel bearings by securing the rear wheels, jacking up the front of the car and putting it on axil stands. Drive the wheels (Do not steer) and listen. I've spun the wheels up to 130mph without feeling like the car will fall of the stands, but for my own peace of mind, do this at your own risk, and if it falls of the stands or you burn your ear on a spinning wheel I didn't tell you to do it. |
