steer and brakign are fine, i might need new pads but i dont think it is anythign major, i get a little pull ot left or right when braking but i think that is due to the crappy nyc street more then the car. i thinking bout getting new struts and spring but i wana make sure what this is before i go waste my funds. revving the engine in netreul or park i dotn get the nosie at all.

do wheel bearing make a low cowbell sound? but at a constant rythm
