Hey guys... just got a new job so I havent been on the forums much... and of course the celica is an ongoing process to keep running right.
Anyway, I have noticed a noise from the rear suspension (wheels) that is especially noticeable at lower speeds around 5-10 mph and gets worse when i have the wheel turned and am making a u-turn for example. I hear something turning in a circular motion and it makes a slight vibration too... Just trying to know what to expect at the shop so they don't push me around either... Thanks for the help, I've noticed a lot of posts about wheel bearings making noise and what not... this sound is only in the rear. |

No problem I know exactly what its like not having a car.
MInes been sitting for 2 weeks cause I didn't know what was wrong with it. But there is something you can do to check the wheel bearing. Jack the car up so the wheel is off the ground. Grab it from the top and the bottom (like 6 and 12 on a clock) And pull on it to see if there is any play. If there is, then that usually means its a wheel bearing. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
