Weird Noise while i turned Help! plz

Hello everyone!

as i go along with my new max i find more and more problems.

1996 5sp gxe

when i turn left i can hear these weird noise coming from what i think it's the end of the car. Now when i turned right, but all the way to the right i can also hear another kind of noise totally different. It really bothers me when left b/c i can just turned a lil bit to it and it will make that noise, as if something was touching or griding or something. i check my stearing fluid and it's fine. any other ideas guys? thank you very much for taking the time to read this

You can't really CHECK them yourself....if the noise gets louder as you turn....it's 99% chance its your hub bearing.

You can change it yourself if you have basic skills....however your old bearing will need to be hydraulicly pressed out and the new one pressed in

They cost about $30 from AutoZone

Well, it depends on how much you drive. If you drive a lot....yea get it fixed ASAP.

But either way, fix it within the next 1000 miles
