morning all!

vince good luck with the tCizzle!

So can someone explain this...im turning my wheel slightly to the right going about 2 mph while tuning and it feels like the car is doing a bunny hop in the front. There isnt anything in my tires either and i only had the wheels turned halfway

sounds like it might be the wheel bearings. is it loud when you turn?

nope not really louder than usual

Also when i turn and hit the brakes (like going into a parking spot) there is a loud metal rubbing noise but i think its just that metal guard rubbing against the rotor slightly

And the other thing i havent got a chance to let brandon look at is when i back out of a parking spot or even when im going slow and have the brake on while turning the wheels there is a loud cracking noise. He said it might be my brakes but i have no clue what it is

it sounds like the wheel bearings. big/heavy wheels & lowered suspension puts alot of stress of them.

there should be a rubber boot on the back of the wheel hub. it might have a hose clamp or something on it. if you can take that off and pack that boot with axel grease you might be able to get away with not fixing them for a little. just be warned that if you dont fix it, eventually your wheel WILL fall off.

so...im seriously considering buying a modped scooter...

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/pr...51/0/home.aspx

$2100 - 123mpg! if i drove my car half as much i would save at least $100 a month in gas. i could use bushkill road to get to work easily. use it to run errands. goto ems sometimes. the only time i would need my car would be if it rains. im sure i wold need a motorcycle licensee.

So i called Milham and told them my problem and they are like no problem its covered under warranty. I was honest and told them i was dropped and he is like we will have to have a warranty admin look at your car. He said it would cost 450 bucks with out the warranty...NUTS! I dont think im gonna even bring my car in because they will prolly make a note of it and ill be screwed if something ever goes wrong.
