    Rear suspension noise

    I searched the forum for ideas on this without any luck, so let me throw this question out there: If I press down on the rear quarter panel, I hear a low-pitched squeak. I also hear the noise when getting in or out of the car. It's almost like a groan, not a grinding noise. Does this mean I...

    My 99 Protege is having an asthma attack - Engine produces high panting noise

    Hello, this is my very first post and I hate the fact that I'm posting a problem instead of praising my protege. Anyhoo... I have my 99 protege SE since Feb 99. Besides a few known issues, my car has been really good to me until a month ago. After my last major tune-up and $1k later, things...

    I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar whirring road noise with their P5. The noise seems to change pitch with wheel speed and gets louder as the wheel speed increases. I first noticed the noise when I purchased the car a year ago, but then one of my front sway bar end links went...
