Hello, my car has been having this problem, and i had two questions. Part 1. When i take a somewhat hard RIGHT turn (wheel at 70 degrees+) at a somewhat high rate of speed (30+), there's the metal-on-metal screeching coming from my wheels. I'm not sure which side it is, but i think it's the driver's side. Anyways, the problem has gotten worse, to the point that when i lightly tap the brakes, it screeches. I already checked the brake pads, and they're perfectly fine. What else would cause a metal on metal SCREEECH?
Part II.
Anyways, since it's kind of hard to diagnose the problem (the best i can do is stick my head out the window while i'm driving), i was thinking about taking the wheels off, jacking up the car, securing it. Then turn it on, and "drive" it, with the front wheels off the ground. I'll get a buddy to see if there's anything scraping when i depress the brake pedal. Is there any harm in doing this? I wouldn't want to damage the drivetrain, and granted my accord runs smoothly, I wouldn't want the engine to somehow "vibrate" the car off of the stands. Of course i would be taking extra precautions, wheel chocks+cinderblocks behind the rear wheels, 2 sets of jackstands+leaving the hydro jack in place, and sticking my tires and another set of cinder blocks underneath the car.
Oh yeah, i have a 95 accord EX. Thanks to anyone with any suggestions to Part 1/2!
