So my last post was about a coolant leak. I thought it was just a poorly patched hose on the 1994 camry i recently acquired. I got under it today after it was running for a while, and i am pretty sure its the radiator. I was going to replace it myself, I have a "Haynes" repair manual. It doesnt seem to difficult.

Also, when I take a hard left turn the front passenger side tire, or something from that area, makes an awful grinding noise. I dont see any signs of anything rubbing against one another. I didnt know if this would be a strut that is in need of replacement.

Any help would be great.

THANK YOU!!!!

 

The radiator replacement is straight forward.

Make some left and right turns and a few 180 in both directions, listen for the noise.

Does it sound like clicking or popping, if so check for a worn outer CV joint on the opposite side of the direction of turn.

A really worn bearing can make a grinding noise.
