Ford Lancer 96 with loud squeaking turning left, soft grinding turning right, dash light on and overheating?

Question

When I got the car you could smell gas when the heater or AC was turned on. I recently got a new tire and rotation and since then it seems when I turn left a little, I hear a high pitch squeek that disappears if I turn really hard. If the same pressure is to the left, I hear a soft grinding noise. I was going to get this fixxed but today I saw a little light come on the dash. It's red and looks like a tank with an arrow pointing down from the openning and a liquid line below that near the bottom of the tank. Not long after, I smelled burning rubber and noticed the dash thermaumeter was dangerously close to (H)ot. I can't seem to pin point when it goes hot, but I doubt it's during turns. I am not sure what is wrong with the car (liquids to add or change,) how to add coolant if needed (something about 50/50 solution to a specific grade?) and if something is wrong with the tires or mounting. I also hear a light tumbling noise like something in the trunk, but it never gets louder over bump

s. I will need to return this car in the same condition I originally got it, but I don't know if I need to just take it to a lube shop and have them change the liquids or if that will solve the real problem? What should I do to have this running in (cheap) driveable condition?

Answer 1

check ur wheel ball joints n bearings left n right n also check the disc brake n brake pads.dash light on is wiring problem n overheating is ur cooling system not in proper ventilation,so check ur radiator,flush it n clean,pour in some radiator coolant.ask ur mechanic to check the engine block if it's crack,then change the gasket head n the lub oil together with the new oil filter.good luck.

Answer 2

Strongly suggest unloading lemon while still driveable.
