ok....when I make left turns, my left rear wheel makes a grinding noise. Also, when I make fast turns, my gas pedal stops responding (ie. press all the way down = nothing) but the engine keeps running. After i finished turning, its all back to normal.





anyone had that problem?

its possible one of the axels rubs on something, or maybe the muffler heat shield is close to the tire?

i'll inspect the mount tonight to see if its still good





i ordered the mazdatrix toe eliminator bushings and will order the suspension energy kit sometimes this week but i dont believe its anything related to that....while having the wheels off might as well change them....

front wheels = wheel bearings, or maybe you're out of brake pad
