Consumer Description

I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY IF I HAPPENED TO BE BREAKING OVER AN UNEVEN SERVICE YEARS AGO. SO, I DRIVE TO AVOID HAVING TO DO SO. BUT, THEN RECENTLY IT STARTED MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE ALONG WITH BREAKING. IT COMES AND GOES. THEN, A CLUNKING NOISE STARTED WHEN REVERSING. NOW, THE CLUNKING NOISE COMES IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE SQUEALING HAS GRADUATED TO SCRATCHING AND SCRAPING WHEN I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. IT COMES FROM MY FRONT, PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, IT GETS VERY LOOSE - WHEREAS TURNING ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT STILL FEELS APPROPRIATELY TIGHT. I THINK THE LOOSENESS IS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL, AS IF A PIECE HAS BROKEN OR IS LOOSE - BECAUSE IT COMES AND GOES. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN I'M MOVING, NO MATTER WHAT TERRAIN IT IS (HIGHWAY, CITY STREET, ETC.) AND WHETHER I AM TURNING OR NOT.
