Question 1st problem

Hey guys,

after 35K of funfilled driving, i've got a problem...

when i start my car in the morning, the tires make alot of noise when turning. its almost a grating sound which i can feel all the way up the steering column.

not sure what the problem is?? it goes away if i drive the car for about 30 mins or so..

any ideas??

Are you braking when turning? It may be the brakes and not the tires.

i thought that might be it. but sadly its not the case.

the problem only occurs in the morning, after ive left the h-brake on all night, and the car in 1st.

when i drive out of my space, i roll it out by babying the clutch (no gas) and once out of my spot let it run on fwd momentum. also it only makes noise when i turn..

strange.

Is it the fronts only or the rear end?

well
took it today to the dealership, cuz i had a CEL come on on sunday.

CEL cause = iginition coils #5 & 6 needed to be replaced (warranty covered!!! YAY!!)
creaky noise: caused due to loose plug in the powersteering fluid box which inturn was leaking powersteering fluid. (strange that i didnt see any fluid beneath my car in the mornings...

in any case gettin her back in like an hour!!!
