Hey Guys,

About 3 weeks ago I was driving in the rain and lost spun my car out from a stop sign when I was turning left.  I didn't hit anything but when my car came to a stop I heard a lloud metal "ping" sound from my rear right wheel.  

Now, everytime I start to drive, I hear a light metal "ping" from the rear right.  I've had my breaks inspected and there okay.  Plus my wheel squeeks all the time.  But it is a pulsing squeek.  

Nissan has checked it out twice and have found nothing.  Any ideas, I would really appriciated it.

So the dealer found nothing wrong with it......but they're usually idots....for the most part...that is, or at least the ones I've been to.

take it to a grease auto shop.

I'll take a stab at it, maybe your heathield bent, and hit the rotor or spindle when driving.....who knows...could be.....

No, that's not the case.  It sounds like an internal part that turns the wheel is damaged.  But I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure what could go wrong down there.

Bad wheel bearing?

i'm going to agree with kid zelda here,, i friend of mine hit a curb sideways in his accord when i was driving with him, the next day his wheel was making a sound like something was loose or broken in there... 800$ later it was fixed, had to get a whole new.... what do you call that... whatever has bearings in it and lets the wheel spin... that thing behind the rotors... expensive...  that could be it, u could do it for a lot less money, his parents were payin and he doesn't know much about cars, so he forked over the cash without second guessing them, i'm sure you could do it for half that easy.
