Check for any power steering leaks as well. Grinding noises at full lock usually indicate air within the power steering system as for the smell the fluid could be dripping onto or blowing back onto a CV and flicking onto the exhaust. Power loss would come from the engine having to use more power to run the pump as their is air and not fluid leading to the pump compressing the air instead of making fluid flow. I recommended getting a torch and having a look around and also check your reservoir. Have gotten this problem on camrys, eks, lancers…. Basically any fwd car haha

Like I said if you have a good gun your set …sadly when I did it I could only borrow my mates Stanley one =( and as I said only use the crowbar trick if its manual if its auto you can risk distorting the flex plate.
My weapon of choice these days:
Ingersoll-Rand 2135TiMax Rattle Gun
Colt 312 Belt Driven Twin Cylinder Compressor running at 145psiLike I said if you have a good gun your set …sadly when I did it I could only borrow my mates Stanley one =( and as I said only use the crowbar trick if its manual if its auto you can risk distorting the flex plate.

If you don’t have a strong rattle gun your set but if you don’t the easiest way to get the bolt out is to remove the starter and jam the flywheel with a crowbar (only do this with flywheels not flex plates) and then a big breaker bar and socket on the crank bolt.

So your going to tell me that most dealerships are doing it wrong and are going to risk getting sued in the case of an accident or death … I don’t think so.

I believe that it is best to have the best tires on the front because most cars have the most breaking power at the front because of the extra weight. If you have bad tyres on the front you are more likely to lock up under heavy braking and begin to skid. The best way to rotate tyres is like this pic
