new noises

[the.dude]

I recently replaced half the front end of my 98gtp as some of you may remember helping me.

Since I have done all this I've developed some nasty noises.

Fisrt, horrible squeak. I can't blame the brakes, it mainly does it when I turn right. If i just roll forward its not to bad, but when I am turning right, its very loud.

Also, when I am turning I hear someting knocking. Its like a bolt is missing or something. Ive triple checked everything under there. Its all tight. This one is especially noticable when I am backing out of the drive way turning the wheel.

Here is a list of the work that was done before my new noises.

output seals (leaking)
drive axles (CV's busted)
tie rod ends (shot)
hubs (bearings trashed)
control arm bushings (split)
tires
camber adjustment bolts 4x
coupler
SC oil
3.4 pulley
water pump (leaking, shot)
belts
transmission fluid, filter
CAI

I can be pretty dumb sometimes. I just realized that I managed to type all that and not ask a question.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this stuff? Thanks.

My '95 gtp did the exact same thing, squeaked like hell when i would make right turn, and when i would back out of like a parking spot it would sound like it would clunk and screech really loud. I dont know if u have the same problem as me, but it was my rotors. they were waaaaay worn down, and warped, and the squeaking was my indicator b/c my lifetime breaks were already worn down, so i bought brand new rotors and got the break pads replaced free, now everything seems fine. Hope this helps! let us know.

Now that's a long list. You din't say anything about struts. Did you forget to add to list or to car?

I changed the struts about a year or so ago.

I checked out the pads and rotors today. Lots of life left on the pads. I had the rotors turned when i did everything else... they seem good too. I also checked for grooves or anything in the newly turned rotors, nothing.

machanic i really trust took a ride with me today and thinks that i have a brake pad thats not seated correctly. i dont have a chance to check it out till next week, but in the mean time i would be interested if anyone has anything to say about that.

did you replace that little piece of medal when you did your brakes, i am not sure what it is called, but my friend's 98 just screamed. and they found out that whoever did his breaks didnt replace that little piece of metal.

i THINK you are talking about the spacer. i bought the quiet stops by raybestos, not knowing that they didnt come with it. so, maybe thats my problem.

the thing is though. ive had them on the car for over a year with no noises...
