everytime i come to a stop with the Z, i hear a growling noise on the front end of the car...i just changed my brakes and i got an alignment this past weekend...still doing the samething...they did find one of the front tires were wearing out on the inside of the tire...the suspension is stock...anybody have a clue on wut this could be? THANKS!!

 

A "growling" noise, huh.

Does it start at like 25mph and get louder as it decreases to down around 5mph?

If so, it's toe-in wear caused by your alignment being out of whack. If you want it to go away, you can try dismounting the front tires and swapping them so that the portion eaten away by the toe alignment will be on the outside.

 

Just a hint for future reference: put a subject in the subject line. Something like Upper plenum leaking not I got a question. Hell everyone has a question. Thanks.

 

Agreed. OP, please do as suggested above or I will delete your thread next time.

Title edited and thread moved...


Thank you,

More information is always better than less:

What year?
Miles on tires?
Photos of tread?

 

growling noise from the front end? I believe you have an engine.

 

nope, he has a pissed off dog stuck in the grille.

 

Those are the signs of the now infamous tire feathering problem. Toe-in is not set properly. You need an alignment and either replace the front tires or "flip" them (swap them side-to-side so the inner edge becomes the outer on the other wheel).

Does it go away when you push the clutch in? Try it and report back.

 

Sounds like shot tires.

 

too many smart asses..but thx anyways to the ones that actually helped me....u can go ahead and delete it now

 

Or, you could report back and let us know what the culprit ends up being rather than let your feathers get all ruffled.

 

Wow, sensaTIVE!

 

I asked several pertinent questions in a effort to help. But no reply. Goodbye forever.

 

My suggestion was real, so I'll echo what davidv said and never help again.

 

Better than too many dumb asses...
