2001 volvo v70, tires screech when i drive

Post by Rosamariaj »

I recently had my tires changed like 3 months ago. I noticed after that my car would sometimes make a sort of screeching noise when I would drive on a curved street or when I would make any kind of turn. Now my car makes the same noises almost all the time even when I'm driving straight. and I noticed the other day that my wheel is starting to feel a little loose. I don't know how to explain it.

I just wonder is it a problem with my tires maybe or my brakes?

One easy way is to look near the bottom of the spring with the wheel turned to lock, see if there is a scratch on the body. Could be that new tires changed the geometry if the control arm bushings are worn.

Other things to look are the wheel lugs for properly secured and perhaps the protection metal sheet behind the wheel, maybe it got bent
