Hey All,
I have encountered a Mystery noise in my Spit. When there is no engine noise 
present and I turn I hear a metal grinding noise. It sounds just like brake 
shoes riding on the rotors, but gets progressively louder as the lateral load 
on the front end increases. Is this a sign of a part waiting to fail? 
comments? Thoughts!
BTW, all the bushings are new poly, rotors and shoes have about 10k on them 
(at least 1/2 life left on the shoes), trunions and joints were also done 
very recently. 
TIA,
Avi
