sewell8819 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hey i was just driving earlier tonight and did not see a big dip in the road. I was traveling at about 35 miles per hour when I should have been going about 5. Next thing i know i hear metal scraping against concrete and my cd to stops playing because of the shock. I got out and it was too dark to see anything, but when i rev the engine to about 3k in park and let the engine settle back down it lets out a sort of hissing noise that i do not remember it doing before. Any idea of what this noise could be? Also, what else should I check/look for? I was so ticked after this happened and i hope nothing serious happened.

Lexusfreak Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Could have scraped the exhaust system when this happened......can you have a good look underneith or have it put on a hoist to see if anything serious happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branshew Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hissing noise could be a vaccuum hose somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewell8819 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Got under my car earlier today and checked it out. The exhaust/muffler was fine- no scratches at all. There was one part on the front that looks like its part of the suspension that had minor scratch marks on it. To clarify the hissing sound- it doesn't sound like a vacumme hose. I can only hear it when the windows are down and I put the car in nuetral and rev it to about 3k and then let off. It is a slight hissing noise, but i it may just be normal. (The valves or cams possibly?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviej Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 are you sure the noise was not present before the mishap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
