Noises problem
1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88 6 cyl Automatic

Hello. I'm asking this question for my mother who is having trouble with her vehicle. It started out making a grinding/grating noise when braking/turning. My dad, who thinks he knows cars, has tried to fix it and has pretty much dismantled the motor and everything else in the front end of the car. He has replaced the fuel pump and a few other motor parts. Currently he is trying to take the crank shaft apart and adjust the rocker arms. If you could provide me any help on what direction to take it would be a great help. Thanks.

If it is a grindning noise, nothing you mentioned that your father has done sounds correct. Do you hear the sound all the time? Have you checked brakes, have you removed the belt to check if is a belt driven accessory?

Let me know.
