• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

It sat outside all day, I stayed home, watched Game of Thrones, Football, and The Good Wife.

I had some drinks, ate some steak and taught myself to fart and belch at the same time.
 


Welp, I had a busy day.. And discovered all the issues with the Regal, It leaks coolant all over the passenger side of the car and runs down around the wheel well and drips from the subframe bolt on the passenger side (coolant elbow?) And then the weird things.. I get this ticking noise like somethings stuck in my tire that increases with speed all the way up until 30 then it stops, It comes from the passenger side and no there's nothing in my tire. And then from 3-4 thousand rpm at 1/2 throttle of above I get this real high pitched whining sound that almost sounds like blower whine but it's definitely not, also coming from the passenger side.. So all my issues seem to lie on the passenger side of the car.. Any help?
 
Thanks lol. I just hate having issues right off the bat.. I guess the high pitched noise could be a pulley or something but the ticking is definitely wheel/suspension related.

^^ happens with me too...... don't know what it is.. thought it was suspension but i don't think it is.
 


Crappy picture due to being dark out....but, she made her grand entrance into the new house garage this evening! We finally got possession!

Now I just have to remember to leave and enter the drive at an angle....already smacked the front bumper once today. Damn subdivision drives and not being allowed to cut the concrete out.
 
i don't know. i looked at both axles and nothing looked like it was hitting it.. thought it was suspension because it did it when i went over the speed bumps at my university. but then realized that it didn't while doing down the road on flat no bumps or anything. so i don't know. but yes. realized too that the frequency of it went up and down with speed.
 
Yeah mine makes noise on flat road, while turning, while speeding up or slowing down, and doesn't change under braking.. Trying to post a video.
 


That was my only thought.. I also feel a bit of knocking as I turn so I knew they were on their way out. Could that be the reason to my high pitched whining noise as well? I doubt it but it's worth asking lol.

Knock while turning is Tie rod, check those out. But definitely sounds like axles.
 


Went to the Capn's place today for a GM fix day. Finally fixed the stupid exhaust leak from the exhaust manifold to downpipe with a new gasket, broke some tools, got mad, and had Matt finish the job while the Cap'n showed off his new Regal and found out various issues with it. It leaks Dexcool, it has a weird whining noise under load, and the control arms are shot to hell.

I'm sure another GM fix day is coming soon. As for me, I'm pulleying down this week.
 
Well looks like I have an axle, possible wheel bearing and possible tie rod to do then lol. And a LIM gasket job and coolant elbows. Not awful.
 
i would be surprised if its tie rod. never heard of the rods being bad when clicking while turning.. always was axles for me. and my clicking still thinking its suspension links.
