I AM WORKING ON A 99LESABRE 3.8L. CUST COMPLAINS OF NOISE IN LFWHEEL WHEN TURNING RIGHT. SOUNDS LIKE ROTOR HITTING THE BACKING PLATE. HAVE CHECKED AND REPLACED EVERYTHING ON LF SIDE TO INCLUDE ROTOR PADS BEARING AND AXLE. OBVIOUSLY I BENT THE BACKING PLATE BACK NONE OF THIS HELPED. ANY IDEAS?
JK: Have had strange tire noises, but make sounds turning either direction. As long as you replaced the whole axle. Have had inner tri-pods make noise on that axle. Will ask SF our trans guy on mon. if anything with the trans. How about this, have had a few loose starter drive gears slide into the flywheel when making rt. turns. In an open area, drive and keep wheel turned while it is doing the noise, then shut off engine and see if noise stops (dont turn key all the way in case steering wheel locks).
