2001 chevy prizm grinding noise when driving

SOURCE: while driving truck makes a humming sound in drive now no reverse

If you have no reverse then yes it needs to be rebuilt. as far as the whining it could be in one of the differentials. or in trans? just depends on where you hear it

Well 1 way to tell if it is the cat un bold the exhaust at the manifold or try and remove the oxygen sensors in front of the cat if it runs fine then you know that the cat is pluged

the hub bearing is bad.the reason it stops when you turn the wheel to the one side is because its taking presure off the bearing

sounds like the clip on the rear output shaft its probably broke. do this by removing the rear driveshaft, and the tail of the transfer case, there are 4 bolts holding it in place. then grab the output shaft and see if it has any front to back movement. if so pull it all the way to the rear and you should see a groove at the front part of the shaft where the clip goes. Then you should find the pieces fo the clip in the tail housing. One person said he found the replacement clip at a local tranny shop. I am calling the dealership parts counter for a new clip for my 97 Tahoe tomorrow. Hope this helps..

You need to jack the front left wheel off of the ground and try to get movement from in and out wiggle it put one hand on top of tire one on bottom of tire and **** it in and out to see if that bearing is loose .. if so it might need replaced or maybe take it appart and grease it.. I believe those are only replaceable .. not greasable.. thanks jerry P.S I would do this soon sounds like it could leave you stranded with more expensive problems ..
