First is when going around a curve, mostly going right, there is a squeaking/screeching/squealing noise (NO IT IS NOT POWER STEERING PUMP OR BELT) coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. It definitely sounds like something to do with the wheel/brakes, because it's difficult to explain but it "reciprocates" at about the speed the wheels would be turning. I'm thinking brakes rubbing, but I just want to get y'all opinion on it first.

Next, the other day when going over bumps, or rough pavement, there is a higher pitched "thunk" or "clunk" from the rear driver side when you hit the bump. It's not loose exhaust, just replaced muffler hangar a few months ago and the bumps I'm hitting arent hard enough to do that. Thinking maybe strut mount? Just trying to get a feel again.


And last, since I finished the head gasket job, I replaced the belt tensioner pulley (NAPA part, made in canada but bearing made in china) and fixed the A/C. Well, A/C works great (apart from making the car even slower than usual. Yay 2.2L w/3 speed), but when hitting the gas from idle, or at low RPM, there it's not a knock, but it's a loud chattering, growling noise. If I rev it at the throttle body, I can feel the vibration from it. It only does it with the A/C on, but is not coming from the A/C compressor itself. The new tensioner already squeaks when cold, I'm wondering if the belt is slipping, or if the bearing in that tensioner is just a POS.

All ideas, and comments are welcome. Thanks guys.

By the way just in case, 97 Cav 2.2L OHV/ 3sp auto, 136,600 miles.
