I have a 1995 Nissan Sentra GXE. There is a whistling sound when the car is in motion. A very high pith sound. It probably disappears at high speeds. (Saying probably because it is possible that the sound is not so audible when the engine is making more noise.) When brakes are applied at lower speeds, the sound increases slightly when the brake pedal is pushed but vanishes when the vehicle comes to a halt. When the vehicle is going in reverse direction the noise is very significant. Not a shrill but more like a squeaking noise.
On the other hand I have a clunking sound when making a turn to the right. This probably means that I need to get the struts replaced. (Not sure which one). Is there any way I can check on my own? One shop told me that I need to get both replaced and gave me an estimate of $500. I went to another shop to get this verified (as there was no noise at that time) and I was told that the struts appear tight.
Is it possible that the two problem could be connected?
Please suggest.
Thanks
