Hey Guys I looked for this on the Tech. Bulletins but didn’t find anything that exactly fit my problem. I get a WAH WAH sound driving and breaking. At first I thought it might be all the construction in front of my house but it’s been getting worse. Im thinking a couple of different things at this point.

1. I think I need an Alignment
2. Warped Rotors or worn pads
3. Tires needs to be balanced
4. Something Crazy with the Suspension

I know it’s hard to diagnose with out hearing it yourself. If I show up to AutoZone maybe someone can take a quick ride around the block and tell me what it might be.

 

Uhhhh... I wouldn't go to AutoZone. Just my opinion. Even Orlando Infiniti is better than AutoZone.

 

Sorry I meant that I would meet up with anyone who is going to Racing Zone (not Auto Zone as I initially put) or the Track on Friday not that I would get it fixed at Racing Zone. I just wanted someone else to hear the problem and maybe help diagnose it.

 

Oh... okay. Yeah, some of us are meeting there on Friday @ 6:00pm. I will be there and Todd of course.

 

cool sounds good I got to get this fixed the sound is starting to drive me up the wall.

 

Boy that is a close call...

 

+1 LOL.... I may not know much about cars but Im not that Car Retarded.

 

Are you sure there's not a baby in the back seat.

 

No Im pretty sure............ unless there is something my wife isnt telling me.

 

Sounds like either a tire issue or if you hear "Wah, Wah, Wah" sound and you are breaking it's probably the rotors.

Either that or you need to stop hiding the baby underneath the car in the wheel well. There's not enough space there.

 

Sounds like Tires...Sean had same issue for the last 2k he had his tires.

It only occurs when driving slow, and more so when braking...

 

How many miles on the tires? They could be feathered. My brother's Scion makes a noise that may be similar to yours when braking that I thought was the rotors grinding, but turned out to be the tires being worn abnormally. That's the major disadvantage of the staggered tire setup, although the Scion isn't staggered.

 

It is almost definitely the tires. Have you not rotated the front tires in the last 5k miles? My fronts make this noise at about that milage mark and it tells me to rotate them. Don't worry it's nothing major. Just take it to a good tire shop and have them rotated. I know when I first got the car and it did this I got a little worried. The technical term for it is "cupping." I would get an alignment as well if you haven't had one in the last 10k.

 

I think it might be that. But I cant rotate my tires i have different size tires front and rear (if i can remember correctly 245 40 in the front 245 45 in the rear). I told Orlando Infiniti to align the tires during the 7500 mile service I dont know if they did it or not. I have 10,700 on the car as it sits. If I just Align the tires would that solve the problem or do i need to get new tires.

 

You have to have them taken off and remounted from side to side. If you want maximum tire milage you should have them done every 5k miles. If you already had an alignment I would just get them rotated side to side. You can get away with 10k on the front and I would definitely get the rears done every 5k miles.
