I have an '12 equinox with 60k miles that we bought when we found out my wife was pregnant with our first kid. I sold a bulletproof honda civic with over 100k having cost me nothing but pads and rotors once and a set of tires or two.
fast forward a year and a half and this shit equinox with just over half the mileage is costing thousands of dollars for anything from power steering pump to back hatch hydraulics to front driverside window wont operate anymore.
We obviously are prioritizing what gets fixed first and as of this last few weeks we have been noticing and increasing chattering coming from the front passenger side wheel well.
This is what i can tell
>metallic chattering or tinking
>right side
>only starts when im doing sweeping right turns(the car is decompressing the right side suspension)
>scales linearly with speed, not revs
>will stop after a while when the car straightens out.
I dont have a great amount of trust in the mechanics around here to not rip me off so i want to bring it in knowing as much as i can.
TLDR; cars a piece of shit, green text is symptoms.

this post must be a lie, why would you spend money when you have a kid on buying a significantly less reliable vehicle?

this and a half, you should really reevaluate your life OP

there is no point in trying to fix a vehicle that is already older than its intended service life. a 6 year old GM econobox is meant for the scrapyard.

The civic was a fantastic car, but it was a coup and getting a small monster out of the back seat and back into it and in a carseat is a nightmare. The idea was to get a larger safer even if less reliable and just eat the tradeoff. Turns out if the front end is going to fall off then it isnt even safer.
