Chevy
Cobalt
2.2L(manual trans.)
60,620 Miles
Right side of my car is thunking during acceleration(its like severe wheel hop but while I am slowly accelerating no tire spin and a lot more violent), steering wheel shakes a little and break peadal pulses during breaking, and loud clunk when I hit a pot hole over in the front passenger tire but typically on warm and cold days, not hot.
First symptoms started occuring about a month after I had my clutch replaced by a transmission shop. They were very faint and subtile at first but progressivly got worse. First thing I did was a front end shake down to see if I could feel any loose suspension parts and everything is tight. Next I brought it to Sears auto, $free, to see if I had missed anything, and they said everything was tight. A few weeks went by and I got a check engine light, checked it out turns out to be a coolant temp sensor, not too big of a deal but later that week I started to notice that when i went into reverse something from the front end started to squeel and grind, but only only while I was turning(in reverse). I ended up bringing it into the chevy dealer for both the check engine light and the mechanical broblems in the front. Had them fix the temp sensor while they were looking at the front end and they said nothing else was wrong with my car all the suspension is tight. I started backing out and everyone heard it squeal and grind so they stopped me and brought the car back into the shop. Later that day they said it was a bad inner CV joint on the driver side and not to drive the car until the part came in. Once I got it back I fianlly thought it was over until a week later the passenger side of the car started doing the same thing, but not as severe and not squealing in reverse, ie only shaking, clunking, ect. Brought the car back yet another $60 for chevy to look at it and they said it was do to warped rotors. So went home changed the rotors and pads. and it went away for about 3 days and yet again it came back even worse. Decided to bring it to the trans shop,$45, and I asked them specifically to look at the CV joints and shaft on the passanger side they said nope thats not it, the break lines need to be bled, personlly I dont even know if they freakin checked the half shaft. So, went home bled the breaks, no air no dirt no nothing, and of couse it did not change a thing.... So, I am stuck no idea what to do next.
I am out of ideas PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
