ok i just had my tie rods replaced and an alignment done. i need to replace the outer cv boots, and will be doing that shortly. i got the tie rods done on wednesday and on friday the front right started making a strange noise when going at low speeds. the only thing i can compare it to is the noise a coffee maker makes when it starts pouring the coffee into the pot. know what i mean? it is only in the front right of the car, and happens when i accelerate from going slow or stop, when coming to a stop, or just coasting at low speed. any help?

 

"when it starts pouring the coffee into the pot"???? You mean a dribbly liquid kind of noise?

like the sort of purring noise that it makes, u know?

 

Probably crap in the rotor

 

if that was the case, wouldnt the noise be amplified when braking tho?

 

Mabe not... I had a vehicle whose brakes made strange noises (like you describe) when I went slow. But there was no noise at speed or when braking. Later we found that some crud had slipped behind the calipers and caused them to be a bit loose thus they made funny noises because they vibrated.

 

i guess ill give that a check then. cause the only other thing i could think of is suspension related, and the mechanic that did my TRE's said my control arms and such were perfectly fine. thanks alot buddy.
