I hit a milestone

Well, it has finally happened. I just went over 100,000 miles in my vibe. Other than the awful grinding sound when I turn all the way to left, she's still running just fine. (Knock on wood)

What do you think is causing the grinding noise?

Maybe it's that milestone he ran into?

Have you checked the power steering fluid level?

No I haven't, but I don't think that is the problem though. You can feel the grind as well, and I know I need new brakes anyway. I think I will do brakes and see if that takes care of the problem. If not at least I will have fresh brakes!

If it occurs while you are moving I'd guess the outter CV joint,, if brakes grind when applied it should happen regardless of the wheel position,,Hope it's not too serious,, Congrats !!Cheers brbo

The milestone is A-OK, but any awful grinding is bad. Better take a chance at getting a little dirty and have a look at that corner soon. Hopefully it's not serious. 100,000 miles and looking mighty good!

Update: The grinding sound was just my engine shield. It was torn loose, probably from the ridiculous winter we've had so far, and was rubbing the wheels and junk. However, I still need brakes really bad.

If you wanna drive all the way up here, I have the garage (heated) and all the tools...

Thanks for the offer sublime, but I have the tools as well. I just have to do it in my freezing cold garage lol!
