Hi guys! Most of you knows the outside temp we hade this week! And this is when my problem just started!
Friday, the coldest day (-33c), I started the car, let it warm just a bit and then just take off very slowly to not harm the car. 2 stops from my house, the front passenger wheel started to make a kinda rubbing sound.
sound: like if the wheel was rubbing on the car
I checked if the tire was rubbing on the car, nope
I checked if there was any snow rubbing on the tire, nope
I checked any wheel component that holds the wheel straight, nope.
Alright, so I came back home since my girlfriend took her car out of the garage to go to work, I said i'll give it a try. Put the car in the garage, let it warmed for 4 hours and then, test drive. No more sound.. Yippi!!!! Problem fixed!!
Not so fast... Yesterday, I went to see my folks. Parked the car on their driveway. Its was -20c outside and the car didn't move or run for approx 8 hours. Took the car to go back at home and the sound came back. I drove approx 3-4km til the sound went away.
It is exactly the same sound as if the tire was rubbing on something but its not..
Since I use my car as an office (sales rep on the road), I'm really concerned about this for my safety first and to keep the car top notch!
By the way if its help, the car is:
2005 cadillac cts, 3.6l vvt v6, 98k miles, rwd.
Tks a lot for your help and expertise guys!
