    Sound coming from front end!

    After I make a turn...don't think it matters which way I turn...I get a pulsating sound that increases with acceleration from I think the drivers side drive line. Do I have bearings? u-joints? Don't really know the parts of FWDs

    I have only worked on RWD vehicles....1st FWD for me....

    any help would be great!

    ok... is it more of a nails on chalkboard sound? if so then you probably need new brakes... its hard to tell

    Squeak, or creak? When I think of a squeak, I think of a mouse. Creak, I think door.

    That sounds like the Brakes, I may be wrong.

    It probally has the cheaper pad which will make a squeaking sound after they crystalize.Spray them real good with brake cleaner then drive it mash down on brake just a little bit an see if it stops if it does just replace pads with a mid grade version from ur local autoparts.Usually if it is a cv joint going out it makes a clicking sound when u turn wheel.while in motion.
