Hi guys, im getting a grinding/scraping noise from the back right of the car when taking right turns. Also it seems like something is loose in that area when the car hits bumps. Could it be the back sway bar? Any suggestions, Thanks.

 

Check your bushings for excessive wear, and get under the car and just look for anything that you can possible shake to create noise.

 

Note that while you are turning right, there is more stress on the left wheels. It may be helpful to drive past someone standing outside the car while they listen to try and localize the noise.

 

I brought it into the mechanic today and he said it was just dirt in the wheel she still makes the noise. He also said the car has "lazy" shifts which he is going to try to fix monday by using lucus and hopefully fixing the oel light which he thinks is an o2 sensor. Around how much should this sensor run me if that is the case? This car has been nothing but a headache, mainly the stereo

 

if the CEL is on and its an o2 sensor it could be up to $120 for the sensor plus his install cost (probably around $35)

 

Yea he replaced both of the sensors. One costed $210 Canadian and the other 140. Does this seem right? and also do you think that it was necessary to get them replaced. Honestly i would have sooner saved 500 bucks if it wasnt going to seriously hurt anything? thanks guys
