1998 Sebring Convertible: Front end Grinding noise/Knocking
 

I have a 1998 Sebring convertible that has developed a grinding noise in the front end at low speed. As speed increases the noise becomes louder and seems like more of a knocking/thumping noise. I t becomes loudest at 40 mph and decreases in volume at 50-55 mph. Over 55 mph it starts to shimmy a little bit. It seems to be coming from the passenger side but may be coming from the center/front. I just replaced the pads and rotors all around and inspected the wheel bearings which seem good. Does anyone have an idea what this might be? I am thinking inner CV Joint.

Hello, I know one thing to check or have checked is your timing belt guides, if your hearing a clang when you give it gas and then when you let off the gas it is most likely your timing belt and guides. The timing belt tentioner will give out if your low on oil or have sludge built up and this motor is interference so you don't want any slack in your timing belt and tensioners.
