| i have a question. i ran my car for a lil distance when my bolt tor my pulley broke and i took off my belts, just to get back to my house, it wasnt far. the power steering was gone and the water pump as you know, but now everytime i take a right turn i hear this flop flop sound at the left from wheel, why do i hear that? does it have something to do with when i drove it without power steering?im at a loss.  | |

| Does it happen at all speeds? Slow speeds? Try slowing down really slow and listen for the sound out the window.

| Maybe something is rubbing on the tire. Turn the wheel all the way to the right and use a flashlight to inspect the wheel well. Use your hand to feel around the inside edge of the tire. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

Actually, if you look at the inner fender carefully you should find where it is rubbing. Probably lost one of the "christmas trees" that holds the inner fender in place, or you recently installed tires that rub for some reason (my winter tires rub a little) Albertj | |

| I wonder if this could be a failing CV joint. Is there any noise at all when rolling straight? Do the CV boots have any cracks or leaking grease?
I have a similar sound coming from the left side of my car, comes and goes. Sort of a grinding/chuffing sound. Also a slight howling noise from 70-80 mph. I'm leaning toward one of the CV joints at this point, but at first I thought it was something rubbing the wheel. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| Ihavent been here for a while guys, sorry. But in response to you AA, my father in law mentioned to me that it could be a CV joint, but im still not sure. its been so cold outside lately that any thought of car work becomes a daunting thing. but i will take a look at it and let you know exactly what it is. | |
