My 1999 Chevy metro, with about 60K miles on it, makes an odd noise when i make very sharp turns to the left at low speeds, and if i turn the wheels while parked. Almost sounds like a mummy moaning. :)
I've dug around and i see CV joints and ball joints are a common reason for this type of noise.
Does that still sound like a CV joint, Ball Joint or could it be something else?
I'm kinda freaking out here. I just replaced the engine due to cylander failure ( 3 seperate mechanices agreed it was the best course) and the exhaust( cuz i hit a large unmarked pothole).
Now this messed up noise has me regreting my choice to fix my car.
I see both Ball Joints ad CV Joints for pretty cheap at online autoparts stores, and here it takes a few hundred with labor at most, but I also see HORROR stories of it costing THOUSANDS!
Arm Me with knowledge before i go to the mechanic, please.
