another problem

Post by w0158981 » Tue Oct 30, 2007 1:56 pm

So i'm driving home today and i'm on the highway and i start to hear a sound like rocks keep pinging off my car and its making me weird but i believed it was just rocks on the road so i come to a stop when i come off the highway and the noise finally stops. but when i started to drive agree it felt like the car was not driving around it felt harder to turn and like it took the car more effort to move the car, i have no clue wats wrong with it but its kinda making me worried to drive it juss isn't turning right or driving right

i don't think so like i can still drive it the car just seems to be wanting to slow down more, takes more effort to accelerate and turning seems harder, its almost like i'm dragging something, but i checked under the car nothing.

yea the front end is not pulling any which way but it does feel like its not wanting to move like almost like my car is dragging aomething because it slows down much quicker, harder to accelerated and turning takes a hell of alot more work lol i don't even know what could have done it only thing is about a week ago i had to slam on the breaks to avoid some idiot in front of me.

As of right now there is no signs of any leaking fluid, atleast not on the road when i move it. I'm not sure what the problem is but dam its costing me alot on gas. would having to slam on the brakes cause anything to happen?

Sounds like the bearings went in the hub.
