hey guys i need help !!!
i just got a 94 GT, never hit, all stock and all of a sudden when im moving slow and i turn the wheel i occasionaly feel a grinding in the front and once this happens for a minutes i would feel it even if i just turn the wheel side to side slightly even while standing
im confused as it doesnt happen when the car is cold only after i drive it for some time and then i would start to feel that mellow grinding - not only in the wheel but in my seat - although my wheel turns completely normal and then it would go away and come back again but only when im turning slow slow
any ideas please !!!
thanks
 
Seems like alot of people are getting this nowadays. Did the shop check the suspension with a stethoscope? I have this exact same problem and turns out my balljoints are squeeking, but they're not loose. They're getting replaced this afternoon.
Does it also happen when you hit minor bumps? Mine squeeks mostly on uneven surfaces when I'm going slow, like parking lots. I don't hear a thing when driving normally.
You might want to get a second opinion from a different shop.
 
ye i do get it only after the car is warm or when its hot out
n ye only makes the noise while driving really slow like in parking not in actual driving
could it be my tie-rods (a b.s. mechanic told me thats most likely the cause)???
*btw how crucial is it for me to do this right away altho i dont want any further damage?

thank you guys !
 
I wouldnt play games with the suspension - having a tie rod or ball joint break could really put someone in a world of hurt.
