ok so. i am a delivery driver for pizza hut. there are many speed bumps in our area but i go over them just as i should. slow and nice. well i got the car in july. maybe around august i noticed when i make a hard left turn while breaking, and durring the stop there is a bump, drive way, or curved down section of the road i hear a clicking noise. yeah i know i have vehicle stability controle but the light doesnt go on when this happens.idk if this issue is related to this:
a while ago. maybe 3 months i was driving threw a neiborhood and my passanger side front wheel was squeeking. the squeeking increased with speed. i called the dealer (it was after hours) and they told me to bring it in next day. but soon after i got off the phone the squeeking stopped.
2 weeks ago i was turning out of a parking lot and missed the drive way a lil bit and went off the curb. (Drive way was very akward) nothing harsh just a lil bump. nothing out of the normal that a car should go threw.
ever since then i feel a wierd vibration. doesnt increas or decrease with speed. i was thinking it was posibly my tire needs to be ballenced. also i have a leaky stem valve and loose psi, i have to fill up about every 2-3 weeks on that tire.
this is where it gets interesting
i was pulling into a drive way in a gated comunity. one who's curb was the same design as the drive way. you know those really low curbs that are mostly rounded and dont change infront of the drive way? well i went up on that turning left and hit it a tiny bit harder then normal. thinking nothing of it i deliverd my pizzas and hopped back in my car
i was driving out of the street and i could hear a crunching noise. i turned off my radio and continued down the street. it was louder and quicker as i gained speed.
thinking i had maybe a long twig stuck in my tire. i pulled over and rubbed down the tire and looked inside. nothing seemed abnormal. i continued driving and called dealership. the answering service picked up. at this time i hit a speed bump and the sound went away???
it was not a pretty sound. sounded kinda like a starbux milk steamer haha.
idk. what do you guys think?
i doubt this is from damage from a pot hole or anything. i have not hit anything on that side. if anything i hit a huge pot hole on the driver side back in july when texas had that freak rain storm. i hope they dont say "well this is damage from a pot hole we wont fix it"
