Dry wheel bearings?????

jack up the car and give the wheels a good shake. if the bearings are snug spin each tire and listen for odd sounds.

The front end is all aligned right? No need to be hunting for other problems if the basics arent taken care of. headbang.gif

wrong, sorry. alignment is AFTER ensuring all the front items are correct. aligning PRIOR to is a waste of time and a bunch of money.

new info, its only starts making noise after I have been driving, so only after moving parts start moving...

Your wheel bearings are at the least out of adjustment. Check 'em and set them right. As your brakes warm up, they will try to grab when you turn certain directions.

Someone already said it, get the front end up in the air with the wheels still on tight. Use that and see if you can get any movement grabbing from the top and bottom of the wheels. If none of that works, light the car on fire and go buy a Honda. biggrin.gif
