Hey, I was driving my car to work tonight and I heard a noise under the hood. It only happens once in awhile when you accelerate or brake, and sorry if this is in the wrong spot i didnt really know where to ask it at. Thanks!

 

What did it sound like? Squeak? Creek? Bang?

 

Yeah, you're being a little vague Stencil. It could be a number of things, but if it's ticking at all, then check the oil. Don't let that run low.

 

Sorry its just kinda hard to explain. Its kinda like the noise of bottoming out. Its like a scrapingish noise. My oil is good, it will just make this grinding scraping noise when your stop or let off the brake.

 

Sounds like you need to check your brake pads & rotors

 

ya seems like your ginding the metal from the pad on the rotor but idk about the acceleration part... could be your dust shield rubbing in your rotor or it "possibly" might be a really bad wheel bearing

 

Is it possible it is a worn or broken motor mount? Also could it be a bad ball joint or tie rod.

 

Id say either brakes or wheel bearing

 

yea i just swapped my bad bearings with new ones and you wouldnt beleive the difference these make!!! timken bearings are awesome!

 

Sweet so u got ur issue fixed
