Never mind. Not ever sure it is your picture. At what speed Is this "squealing" happening? Is it the only sound? Is it accompanied with a weird grindy clunky poppy snappy any of those noises?

See how your wheel hub is a Nice Golden rusty brown color? I don't think it's the brakes but I could be wrong.

Personally dealing with a wheel bearing issue right now and this is the third on in 9 months. However I ran the car for two years before the first arose and put thousands of miles including over the maximum load miles on it. Yes it is a front passenger bearing. The others I am blaming on human...

Given there is a spring of some sort unDer it I would say proceed with caution but it does turn under minimal pressure and I would recommend using a rag under your pliers but odds are you are just going to mess up the remaining chrome. But you can easily rotate it to the position you are looking...

This is the exactly correct way to do it right here. Plus making sure the nut on the cable at the handle is tight.

Personally I had this similar issue. I didn't notice it until I changed the exhaust manifold to a stainless header and also added a full OBX stainless catback. This leaving a stock cat/midpipe. When I fired it up it would rattle at idle and at low rpms but under driving conditions it would...

Yikes that would be a pain in the butt to learn after the fact. Thanks for the insight and a possible place to look on this car I'm about to pick up. Don't think it had a sunroof but never hurts to check.

I would advise you to do some searching on the forum, using a handy tool that starts with a big G with box under it to type stuff into and generally reading about turbos and set ups. The kind people of Protg land will thank you for not blowing up another car by first receiving an education of a...

Partially agree with this because yes as a general rule it does not thump. However I have had them go bad....and due to my own knowing of what it was and how far I could push it it did begin to thump. However again this is only because I literally road the bearing 1 mile per day to and from...

Don't know about shops but I know a few good guys that do great work up around Springfield Mo.

I guess it could also be the fuel pump. I also guess I sometimes use posts as a bit of a journal system and answer my own questions. Some how makes me think more. Anyway still need help or ideas.
