Hey everyone!!
 I have not been around much the past couple of months due to school, work, baby, etc  !!!! I hope everyone has been doing ok.  Anyway, I have an issue with the front passenger side wheel well of my 1995 GT. Whats happening: Nearly everytime I turn to the left I hear a rubbing sound. Sometimes it happens when I am going straight after a left turn. The noise only comes during one spot of the tire rotation, every time the valve stem is at the 5 o’clock position. The noise does not really sound like metal on metal more like a rubber on metal sound. The car has new brakes, rotors, wheel bearings about 6 months ago. What I have done: Took the wheel off and nothing seemed out of place or lose. There were no signs of any wheel rubbing on the tire or inner fender. Switched the front & rear wheel and the noise continued. What think it may be: Tie rod end Sway bar bushing CV axle Doubt it but may be a stuck Caliper I only have Sunday afternoons to mess with my car so please help me diagnose this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks 6gc!!! A grateful Etnrider This post has been edited by ETNRIDER: Oct 22, 2008 - 1:18 PM --------------------  |

you need to find a bolt that threads into one of the holes on the rotor between the stud holes...
it needs to be long enough to go all the way through until it pushes the rotor off the knuckle if you don't have that bolt, then hammer it harder. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

This is exactly what I did!!! Worked like a charm! QUOTE (GriffGirl @ Oct 24, 2008 - 5:56 PM) Yeah, you definitely have to muscle it a bit... you'll get it. Oh I muscled it, I almost pulled the celica off the jackstands!!!
