Steering problem
1997 Toyota Avalon Automatic

Hi,

Car makes metal grinding noise when you turn wheels left or right. Car keeps wanting to go to the right when
driving down the road. Does'nt pull when braking.


Thanks
Paul

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Suspect worn ball joints or wheel bearings. Inspect the ball joints and other suspension components as listed in the following link.

Let me know the results of the inspections and I will follow up.


Thanks for using 2CarPros.com!
