alright, i dont know where its coming from, but its only when i accelerate fast and i hit 40, something scrapes, its either the struts r out and they r letting the tire hit something.
AND when i take left turns, something grindes, it isnt pastic on rubber (lol) i dont know what it is.
i know i asked this b4, but i really do need help. my previous owner said they took it to the dealer and they couldnt find out what was wrong, could it be the struts? cuz when i look at my baby (my car) from kinda far, it leans to the side a lil, like the struts were out, u think that could be the cause?

i was always told that a good sign of strut failure is when they are covered in grime/oil...

naturally this isnt definite, but i would first look at your passenger rear. there are really too many things that it could be, i would suggest putting the car on jackstands and see if you can spot anything. also, if you can get the car secure enough try running the car to see if anything comes up...

When you turn is it a metallic/clunking/banging sound?

well i found out thats i THINK its not only when i turn, its when i accelerate fast, its a matelic sound. coming from the front passenger side, or where the tire is (above the tire) i put it on jacks today and i could spot nothing unusual, cept the lil black marks above the tire, where maybe the tire was rubbing, but the sound is matelic, not plasic?
