Hey all,

just a quick question... I have a 98 TF Magna and noticed a weird noise coming from the front left hand wheel.

For lack of a better description, the noise was metallic, almost like keys on a keyring rattling. The noise was more noticeable when going over bumps ((I heard this on an old and bumpy cement bridge)). I had the CV's checked at 2 different places about a month ago, and both said they were in good working order, nothing wrong.

Not sure if this is also related, but the car also pulls slightly to the same side as the noise, although, its had 2 wheel allignments, at different places, both noting that it is at the correct setting.

Any ideas?

Even though it may of been checked yesterday there still might be something wrong today.. if its pulling now id make sure somethings not loose.. get it checked asap.. steering is a safety thing.. :D
Good luck

Pulling> Front Wheel> Brakes?
Wearing down or worn out

It could be a bearing on it's way out, the front passenger wheel on my brother's KE sounds like an orchestra in full swing...

I will be getting it checked out... as soon as I have some spare cash to do it... Students wages suck... :rant:

I was thinking wheel bearing myself actually. Other than the fact that I dont have any other symptoms relating to the CV, eg clunking when steering or vibrations, etc.

It's certainly sounds like something is loose.

Thanks.
