Well after taking off bumper and headlight/grille mount I notice my radiator mount where it attaches to frame on both sides has rustedclean off. Guess that's some of my extremely heavy front end vibration above 60 mph. Then my steering, it's always made noises like all old winding steerin... But now when I'm at 2/3-3/4 turn, it sounds like my wheel is rubbing against something. Like a metal wheel spinning... I'm assuming wheel cylinder, as it's coming from drivers side. Thing is that whole hub assembly was replaced 3 months ago because slid sideways into a curb during winter in black ice. My wheel almost came off on highway. After mechanic replaced hub assembly for 180 bucks(I bought my own he wanted 360 for it) in labor. 3 hr job really? He said some parts had been bent and it would make a rubbing noise when turning, but will goaway. Noise never went away.
And to top it all off my tranny grinds1-2 shifting, and if I accelerate at a normal rate before20 mph... My tranny sounds and feels like it's gonna rip out...
