I HAVE A 2003 OLDS ALERO THAT THERE IS A NOISE COMMING FROM THE FRONT END. THE BRAKES ARE GOOD, AND THE TIRES ARE GOOD. THE NOISE HAPPENS MOST WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRES ARE MAKING A WINEING NOISE. IF I JURK THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT YOU HERE A DIFFERENT PITCH TO THE SOUND. ITS NOT REALLY A GRINDING NOISE, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I TURN TO THE RIGHT. THIS CAR HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT. DOES IT HAVE WHEEL BARRINGS THAT REQUIRE GREASING?THE OTHER QUESTION IS ON A 2004 DODGE STRATUS, 4CYL. THIS CAR HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. AT A STOP AFTER ITS WARMED UP WHEN YOU START TO GO IT HESITATES, AND WHEN SITTING AT A STOP WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT TRIES TO MOVE SLIGHTLY. ALSO WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE AT A STEADY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IF YOU BACK OF THE GAS AND SLOWLY GIVE IT GAS ITS OK. BUT IT MAY DO IT AGAIN, YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE GAS PEDDLE.

Ok car 1 first It could be the rack and pinion or yes it has a wheel bearing but it cant be greased. It can also be the trans axet the thing that connects the trans to the wheel.
As to the dodge, it can be it is low on trans fluid or it can be the fuel filter is starting to stop up and restricting the flow of fuel. It can also be the fuel pump is not supplying eneff prerssure to the injectors.
It is reall hard to say as I cant see the car and run some test.

the first question. it is your right wheel bearing. it has all of the characteristics. they are factory sealed. as far as i know, you cant grease it. get it replaced soon. i cant answer the other one.
