Last night...cruising along this weird noise just came out of the car...

sounded like metal scraping....i thought the exhaust had fallen off and was scraping on the road...

thats how bad this sounded...


i pulled over straight away...checked the car over and under and in....everything looked fine....

when i started driving again...everything was normal...and today evrything is normal....

its like some weird **** is happenin


first time ive heard the noise....and havnt heard it again...no engine lights came on...no temperatures started rising...all is good....

but what a noise!!!! what could it be....??? metal scraping on metal???

I get that too sometimes. It seems like the brake rotor is rubbing against something, thats how it sounded. Well at least its coming from somewhere there, sometimes front left sometimes rear left. However, it doesn't seems to do any damage. Hope not.

Yeah i suspected brakes....


hmmm....

My cousin a while had this problem a while back on his 95 corolla. He was driving along Norton Street on a Saturday night and he heard this incredibly loud metal scraping noise (how embarassing lol ) which sounded like one hell of a squeeling and scraping noise . He ended up finding a rock wedged between his disc rotor n sumfin else apparently.

Maybe this dude is living underneath your car George?

. . . . . . . . .BWhaHAhaAhaHAH funny **** man u always come up with weird **** LOL

you guys crack me up lol

could be be centre main bearing in drive shaft on the way out,had that prob years ago in my old commodore. noise now and then not all the time.

i hear dead cars

or it could of been some road debris stuck somewhere that fell out...

lol

In all seriousness (good to see you laugh though Northy ) I'd say it was the front rotors. Crap get in mine sometimes. Hmmm.

to much NOS... danger to manifold kinda action..

Seconded. Micky T would agree too

Has happened to me too once on gravel road (suspect stone got between disc & pads) & once on normal bitumen for no reason, just stopped...inspected & was OK......hmmm unexplained phenomenum i tell ya:-)

id say it was a rock between ur brakes, then when you goto brake to stop and check it usually dislodges itself.
