Are u sure? because its when i slow down, speed up, or go over a frost heave. I even hear it sometimes when im going fast.

p.s. Frost heave: a bump in the road cause by frozen ground/water under the pavement usually found in the back roads of New England.

i had scraping when i turned a wheel a certain way w/o using my brakes and it turned out it was something in my brakes (caliper)? they showed it to me but i forgot the whole deal since it was years ago.

pretty sure, theres not much else back there to make that kind of noise. when was the last time you had your brakes changed

Could be wheel bearings, but more than likely it\'s the brakes. A lot of garages like Bridgestone will check it out and give you an estimate for free.

Hey dave, I\'m going to go ahead and move this thread over to the soon to be newly created "Rust" forum, for all your breakfast related car maintenance needs.

:sigh:

i don\'t think its the motor, because the wiper flinches when the other wiper moves, that is there is still in impulse being sent to the busted wiper. however, the wiper is loose and jiggly when i manhandle it. (translation: no way i\'m droppin a hunj on a fn wiper, its gotta be something else)

it may be broken off from the motor somehow or something is stuck on it preventing it from moving.

go outside with a flashlight, a roll of duct tape, and a screwdriver and have a good time
