Q: My car is worrying when going low speeds and quietly grinding when braking all the sudden
All of a sudden, I had to noises pop up at the same time. When going low speeds, I'm hearing a kind of whirring that seems correlated to the rotation of my tires. I'm also noticing a quiet grinding when coming to the end of my stops, or braking hard. I recently got a tire balance as well as a CV joint repaired. Thank you in advance!
