Hello everyone I have a 93 dodge caravan that had many problems all of which I have repaired except for two things.
- At idle there is a intermittent rattle that is very loud coming from the passengers side engine area that gets worse when the AC is on and when the steering wheel is maxed out in both directions (probably cause of load). One guy told me it was the harmonic balancer and another told me it was the AC compressor clutch bearings. This noise goes away when the rpms are increased and I am at a loss
- This noise is coming from the front driver's side wheel and only is heard when applying the brake. I looked at the wheel and it was totally black (wheels are white) and very hot so hot that the wheel smoked like a train when I was washing the black goo off with a water hose (may be normal since i had just driven across town). It kinda feels like a loose wheel bearing or a bad tie rod but the black gunk kinda threw me off.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me!!
