Hey everyone. I got my original problem with the clutch fixed. Now it clicks when I accelerate, I suspect the CV joints like my old honda sounds just like that. Also there is this god-awful grinding sound coming from the front at slow speeds. Sounds like anything from a flat tire to worn out bearings, wondering if anyone else has got this. I love this car to death, but it just seems like it is falling apart. Also is this "squeaking" that you guys are getting from the struts fixable or what, it only happened while it was really cold, now it doesn't do it. You can email me at sethamiller@hotmail.com or just reply on this. Thanks everyone.
 
Seth, the squeaks up front are the front swaybar bushings, have them replaced and it will sound and feel like new.
No idea on your other noises, sorry.
Good luck
 
when wheel bearings ATTACK! next on Fox...

Well I got my car looked at and the guy couldn't believe how bad this grinding sound was coming from my front right side. We switched tires and he did some things and thinks its the wheel bearings. Has to be, the car only has 30000 miles which is a lot but still...It's all highway driving. Anyway, just thought you all might like to know. Hey, also how those lighter flywheels? and the clutches, worth the money or what?
 
my car is experiencing the same problems..something is grinding almost like when you are rubbing 2 metals together. it happens at around 1700-2000 rpms in 1st,2nd,and 3rd. i will have to bring it in to the dealer again and have it checked out. did you ever get yours fixed or at least found the cause?
 
i got in an accident once and it bent my left front wheel bearing.....

and i had the noise that you guys were talking about...

i had it replaced and the noise was gone!

cost me some $$ tho... :(
