Hi Joe. Thanks for your help with this.
I had to take the car to the mechanic, and he did diagnose a right bearing issue. The car is now fixed and runs great.
However, this was actually secondary to another problem I was having with the car.
I had the power steering rack replaced twice on the car and before the moaning (issue with bearing) it was clicking when I turned left or right on nearly every turn. 10 months after the second rack and pinion steering were replaced, I got the moaning sound. That is when two issues came together.
It did need a bearing, but the clicking was the bushings in the power steering rack and those were replaced under warranty.
I love to work on cars but when it involves jacking up the car and needing to go underneath, it’s not for me. Besides, I didn’t own a jack or jack stands.
I would love to change my own oil, but fear keeps me from doing so. I love my car and with its low mileage I want to keep it running. Now if I can just get someone to replace the fuel and brake lines from end to end, they are the only rusted items on the bottom, I would feel pretty good on long trips. Suggestions?
Anyway, I think this one is done. I can now try and continue working on the Firebird headlight issue, also one of my questions on here.
Thanks for your help and I hope you have a great 4th.
