Re: New CV Axle & Balljoint and still that sound persists...

Correct, it was not the wheels. The car had the sound when I bought it. The previous owner also had her mechanics look at it and couln't figure it out. It had no cv's on it when we bought it and turned around and put a new set on thinking the one's she had may have been junk. No Napa CV rebuilds ...

Re: New CV Axle & Balljoint and still that sound persists...

Believe it or not those have been replaced twice. A mechanic swore that was the problem after we had them originally changed and he said sometimes they are bad even from the manufacturer so we changed it again and nothing changed.

Re: New CV Axle & Balljoint and still that sound persists...

I was finally able to get a video of the noise. Again, this only happens when turning right and it doesnt always happen; heat and speed do affect it. Like I've said everything on the front end has been replaced and it has been to 3 mechanics and they can't figure it out. There has to be weight on ...

sunroof spoilet/deflector

Does anybody have one of these on their bonnes? I'm thinking of trying one to limit the air noise when I have my sunroof open a little bit. I've seen them on other cars but not on any bonnes yet so not sure how it would look.

Re: Floor Mats

I ended up making custom mats out of outdoor carpet (gray) from Home Depot. I have to say they look really good. I think I'm going to put some no slip under them though and at $20 for a big roll you cant beat that.

Found it???!!!!

Here is a video that is spot on for the noise my car is making and it just happens to be a 99 Grand Prix. He's saying that the noise is a bearing on top of the front strut that allows the strut assembly to turn as you turn the wheel. Has anybody heard of this?http://youtu.be/6jwSv1dL2EI

Re: New CV Axle & Balljoint and still that sound persists...

I found a video on you tube that is the exact same noise happening the exact same way. All of the suggestions to him say CV joint but these have been replaced on my car. http://youtu.be/BUch4OL-p08

Re: New CV Axle & Balljoint and still that sound persists...

Well the mechanic couldn't find anything but says it's most definatley coming from the driver side front tire area. Since getting it back we replaced the calipers but no change in the sound. It's very frustrating when certified mechanics cant even figure it out. It doesnt affect the steering at all ...

Has anyone used these? I'm thinking of getting one but I don't want to waste my money if they are junk.

Carbon Fiber wrap

Has anyone used this on their dash or console? The previous owner of my car removed whatever was originally on the plastic around the shifter/ashtray and its an eye sore so I was thinking of trying this wrap.

So I bought some nice quality gray floor mats, unfortunately they dont cover the entire floor. How about some input/pics of what you have?

Re: Why no emblem???

I know 100% that it was not in an accident. Do the titles say SLE, SSei etc on them? Mine doesnt and I had someone look up the vehicle and it showed that it is an SLE. There are no indications on the paint that they were ever there but oh well, she'll have them soon enough.

Why no emblem???

Is it normal for the 2000 Bonne not to have the SLE emblem on the doors? I ordered 2 off ebay and plan on putting them on but was curious if other SLE owners have them.
