My 1999 Grand Am front end roars when driving down the road regardless of what speed. Does anyone else have this problem and what can I do to fix it?

| I need to replace the bearings on my 2000 Grand Am. Seems very straightforward. Any tips? | |

Help... my car is ticking and i dont really understand the cause. it started a couple weeks ago so i changed the oil 10w-30. it quit ticking for about 100 miles then it started again. now here is what i dont understand. the car does not start ticking right away, it warms up first then it slowly fades in until its very loud. i know it is coming from the rear of the motor. so i removed the rear valve cover. i checked all the roller rockers to be sure that they were all tight. i did notice that there is a little play from side to side on a few of the rocker arms. from front to back there is zero play. push rods also feel tight. so could this tick be caused by the slight side to side play in the rocker arms or is that unlikely? other than this noise the motor runs perfectly fine. but this ticking seems to get overwhelmingly louder and louder as the car gets hot. the check engine light is on and diagnostic says it is the camshaft position sensor. (i suspect its a faulty sensor tho since the engine runs fine) anyways please reply back with some ideas. Thanks ohhh, the engine is a v6 3.4L Its actually a 3400 SFI. it comes in a few different GM cars |

Hi - Yesterday, while sitting at a stop light, I dumped all the tranny fluid out of my car. Fortunately I was sitting still so I didn't burn out the tranny. Since getting it fixed, there's a weird high pitched whine or whistling noise. It sounds like it's coming from the alternator, or that area. When the line broke, it sprayed tranny fluid all over in the engine and I'm wondering if fluid got into the alternator and that's why I'm hearing the noise. The pitch changes on the noise as the RPM's go up. I don't think it's the tranny, however, as it does it at idle, the car does not need to be in gear. Do I wait a few days and see if it dries out or does someone have an idea as to what the noise might be? It didn't do this until the fluid sprayed all over. Thanks!

| I have a 93 grand-am, when I accelerate I get this loud clunking grounding sound coming from the r-front. At first I figured it was a bearing (hub assy), removed it and it rotates with no catching. I can create the same senerio by jacking up the r-side and using the gas and brake and get the same clunking noise. The CV joints seems to be ok. Did not remove the CV joint. Do they fit into a spline in the transmission, do they have a tendency to strip out? If it is the splines in the transmision, can they be replaced? | |
When slowing down and making a turn at an intersection or on-ramp, I am getting a grinding and mechanical whine sound coming from the right front end. The sound goes away as soon as the turn is finished. Any Thoughts?
