My 93 GT is making a really odd noise. Ive been messing around with it for awhile and I have gotton nowhere. Making a long story short, when I start moving from a stop light/sign/or wherever my car makes a noise that to me sounds like that weird high pitched feedback noise when you get an elec guitar too close to an amp. Not a fuzzy sound but a really HIGH pitched scretching sound. That sounds freakin retarded but this is seriously happening and happening VERY LOUDLY. Starting at 1100ish and stoping about 2k. It makes this noise so dam much I can tell when its starting to make the noise and take my foot off the gas and I can hear a very very low noise (different noise haha) that sounds like something is turning. (ex. the wheels!)
Recently its starting to lingure (high pitched noise) around and making the noise at medium speeds about 25 to 45 mph. It does not make the noise when stopping and does not make the noise when the car is in neutral and say I put my foot on the gas. So therefore I do not think it is motor related. But when it is making this magical noise if I push the clutch in, it goes away instantly.
Another odd twist, this noise is Strongly comming from the front passenger side wheel well area. So this makes me think it is something suspension/brake related.
I've replaced on both sides of the front end...wheel bearings, rotors, pads. And I put a new caliper on the front passenger side. Also on the front pass side I swapped out my Eibach for a stocker and that got me nowhere.
Everything on,around,under the car looks normal. All necessary suspension parts have been lubed and relubed. My front control arms were replaced about 2-3years back as well, max 20k on them.
I think next on the list of things to do is pull back tranny I guess and see if everything looks okay. The tranny makes no noise while sittin in neutral so I dont think its the throwout bearing. The performance of the car is great and not slacking at all. I am curious if say my pilot bearing took a shit and say my crankshaft is getting grinded on. Also a friend is lending me his SFI balancer to slap on and see if thats the culprit? I really have nothing to lead me to a balancer but I guess its just hopes and dreams for me now. :(
This just randomly started happening and would like it to go away asap. Any help at all well be greatly appreciated.
