Asked by Eddie May 01, 2020 at 01:06 AM about the 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just bought a Mitsubishi GT 3000 today, an
(impulse/desperate need buy.) I test drove it in a
neighborhood and all was fine. When I got on a road to
accelerate, between 35-40, on the highway also, it made a
screeching type of sound coming from the driver side front
tire. Could this be a brake issue or something worse? It was
sitting for a while before I bought it, I just need to know
some opinions before I spend a stupid amount of money
on something that isn't the problem. No auto shops around
me are operating at the moment and I'm a basic car guy,
can only fix basic things. Let me know

Yea, it was a good deal and I needed it. Lol I do know how to replace things and have the money to. Luckily my good friend is a mechanic, he's checking it all out as we speak while I'm working. Thanks for input though, I'm hoping it's something as simple as a belt.
