Anyone here know anything about cars?

**shadegray** · 03-13-2007, 11:11 PM

So my dd is driving funny. I'm getting a thumping and squealing noise from the engine and the car vibrates at low speeds. I hit a curb a few months back in the snow at around 10 mph, could it have messed up something with the suspension? The squealing sounds like it might just be belts, but I don't know.

A little more info would be nice. What kind of car, yadda yadda.

If the car is parked in your driveway running does it still squeal? If it does you can pretty much cancel out the suspension being the cause.

Does the whole car vibrate or just the steering wheel? Are you pressing the brakes when it vibrates?

Not enough info there to really help

Remove all the calipars. Re-paint the calipars Z06 red. Add the appropriate decals of the name of the vehicle to calipars. Bolt-up and if not fixed move to the next step.

Remove the headers, look at them for about 5 minutes, then put them back on. The whole process should only take about 16 hours.

Does that mean your calipers say LS6 on them?

The LS6 SS is long sold.
In fact it was for sale right here on the forum and sold here on the forum back in 2005.
Since only SeVeRlYDiStoRtEd accepted the bet as to wether or not it was a true Factory LS6 since he lives only 10 miles away then didn't show up to see it, he still owes me.
The LS6 is still available for viewing 10 miles away from SeVeRlYDiStoRtEd in Fair Oaks, Ca.

Why? Did you want to make the bet?

It's a '99 maxima. It still squeals when it's in nuetral or park, so that's why I'm thinking belts. The whole car vibrates, and it's not just when I push the brakes, so I think I can rule out warped rotors. Could loose motor mounts or a misfiring engine do that?
