This is my first post in quite a while. My car was constantly screehing when I made turns so I decided to finally go ahead a get some new tires. New tires have been on for about two weeks, got the bearings and hubs replaced and got my alignment done to make sure everything else was good. After the driving the car around for a week I noticed my car was still screeching around turns. I took one turn at 15mph and I still got a quiet screech, what could be the problem?

Any Info will be greatly appreciated!!

 

Which tires are screching? If it is the front, the LSD may be sticking.

 

if its not that loud it could be grease on the outside of your cv boots mine kind of sqeeks somtimes because of this

it could also have somthing to do with your breaks

 

is the tires themselves screeching or or does it sound like a low brake squeal ?

 

are you sure your not stomping on the gas? I know in the mustang when I turn like that and stomp on the gas the rear end flys out and anyone around me is like "ohsh*t"

to subs and nick

 

worn brake pads can squeek on cornering before squeeking on straight ahead. Also brake dust shields can cause noise, I've had that before-not exactly like what you describe though.

 

Does it screech on sharp turns only??

 

nope. his tires screech. my max was horribly out of alignment. it dog-tracked and the passenger front wheel was 2degrees out of align.

it's since been aligned and really feels like a different car. but it does tend to screech going around corners, on-ramps, off-ramps, rotaries, and general tight corners....
i was wondering the same thing. it's definetely the tires..... i wasn't aware that my maxima even had an LSD. i just figured it'd be an open diff.
thanks for the replies because they are helping me out as well. ^_^

 

Yeah its definitly the tires that are screeching. It exactly the way maxima19 described it with the offramps and onramps, even if I don't take them that hard. It makes me seem like a speed demon when im driving, everyone turns around to see what young whipper - snapper is coming up the block.

 

check your tire pressure, low pressure could cause them suckers to screech, maybee they never filled them all the way or u have a slow leak

 

My 91 honda civic was doing the same thing when I was turning. Turned out my cv boots where torn on both sides.
