Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Default Squealing in front end

Hoping someone can help me with an ongoing issue with my front end. After about 5-10 minutes of driving I am experiencing a loud squealing noise in the front right corner of the car. The faster I go the faster it squeals. It does go away at times when I am driving straight down the road, but any slight touch to the wheel left or right, but more-so on the left it starts squealing, and it also squeals while going straight as well. The squeal goes away during braking. I have replaced the front pads and rotors in the last year and have had no trouble with them at all. There is about 50-60% left on the pads and no scoring on the rotors. I was told this may be one of many different problems spanning from wheel bearings to ball joints to warped rotors, but I was hoping someone may shed some light or maybe someone has had a similar issue.

Remove the power steering pump belt for a *short* test drive and report back. Note that steering effort will be greatly increased during this drive.
