Hello. We have a 1993 Ford Thunderbird. Only had the car for about 5 months. When accelerating, you hear a squeaking that gets louding upon accerlation, from the right wheel. eventually the squealing will go away after going a steady speed, but re appears when speeding up or slowing down.
We also hear a clicking and sort of a popping sound from the left wheel when you turn it. In addition we hear another sound, kind of a roaring sound that gets louder upon acceleration. We took the car to 2 independent mechanics. One said it we have a bad wheel bearing and hub. The other said it was the ball joints. So we figured it would not hurt to fix both problems. But would like another opinion on the symptoms I have stated. Also we want to fix it are self. What tools would we need to buy. And could someone give us step by step instructions on how to repair.? Also where is the best place to buy these parts. Any advice would be appreciated.
