okay.. so i was driving home from work earlier today and my car was making really weird noises that was tripping me out,
my car was just going, and there was like a scratching/screeching noise from my front left side, and when i pressed on my breaks
it got worse and it suddenly jus stopped, then from my back right side, there was several noises like metal rubbing against each other,
very unpleasant, thought my car was gonna give out :cry:, i know my description is really hazy, but would anyone have any ideas?
both noises stopped after a couple of seconds tho and i drove home fine

im guessing my front left break pads might be the problem for the first noise?

and some kind of bar is maybe coming lose? or maybe ball joint to create that kind of noise for the second one?

if anyone has previous experiences/knowledge about this matter, please give a hand!
cheers and thanks

It is really hazy... One thing that will help though, is having an idea of what the car is. Some vehicles have known probability for certain issues. In most cases, if it gets worse... get it fixed. Fill this out, and we'll go from there.

Could be a cvc joint. I had a problem like that before. and either a ball join or could even be the frame. When I owned a thunderbird, it did that same grinding noise. It was in the front, though. It twas the rack and pinion steering.

Brake pads
