I have a 1996 Ford Taurus. I just recently discovered two things. One: when I start the car there is a sound like a fan flicking paper in the engine. This sound comes and goes as I am driving. Two When I turn the steering wheel while driving around a corner or pulling into a parking space etc there is a sound in the front wheel well that I am turning to that sounds like the tire is rubbing on the plastic wheel well lining. I have heard a bearing go before and it sounds nothing like that. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about what it could possibly be. I have checked to make sure that there is nothing rubbing the onlly thing that I could think that it might be is a CV or something. any ideas? anything would help. I know the obvious answer would be to sell it cuz taurus' are crap but it's my gf's car and she likes it so I would like to find out whats wrong and fix it for her but I am at a loss!!!!! thanks a bunch

There are a couple of things to check cv axles check for split boots, sometimes the strut mounting bearings go out too, thats at the top of shock tower you can feel it by puting your hand on the shock tower under the hood. check these out post back
