When I come off the gas the car pulls to the left, but if I go back on the gas it stay more straight and theirs this weird noise coming from the front of the car as I'm driving? :confused:
 
Check you alignment, when your on the gas, there is a lot of weight transfered to the back of the car, and then when you come off the gas, it transfers back to the front. You're toe is probably out.

What kind of weird noise? is it a "clack", if so you may need new a new CV joint.
 
is the "grrrh" noise comming from one side of the car? If so, still could be CV. My car does that....more of a "whrrrr" noise....I love the onomatopoeia! :thumb: anyways, That may just be sound comming from the driveline, AWD are pretty bad for that. Have a feeling its alignment related, like crunchymilk said, check for uneven tire wear...if you see it, get an alignment.
 
I'm gonna rotate the tires today @work and see if the noise go away to see if it's the tire. Then I will get an alignment and see how that goes. Last I would check the c.v joint. How can I check the joint my self. I didn't see no grease under their like the last time when the boot ripped!
 
Another problem that makes that noise is possibly a wheel bearing starting to go out. I've gone through three so far (just waiting for that fourth one to go out so I can shell out another $700 at the dealership) but for as much noise as it makes, it never affected my steering that i remember. It's a pretty easy thing to check, though. Jack up the car and try to wiggle the wheel. If there's play in it, the wheel bearing is going.
 
you might want to check your calipers check that the piston is releasing again, if the piston in the caliper is stuck it'll keep constant preassure on the rotor and effectibly slow down that side of the car.
 
its not gonna be your rim or nothing it will be your alignment or you could possibly need a new tie rod because i had that same problem and i had to get an inner tie rod and alignment and it was driving perfect after.
 
Thanks, for the reply guys, I took the front tire and put it in the back and the noise went away from the front. So the tie was a little outta worn? Have'ntdone the other things yet, but the car still feel the same. I will keep you gus posted.
 
So the noise went away then? You didn't clarify.

Also, was the CV boot cracked in the front?

What do you mean by "but the car still feel the same?"
 
I'm sorry some of the noise which was due to my tire that was in the front. I moved it to the back of the car. The joints are fine no grease or tear as far as I can see. Also that side was changed about year ago(pass.) I jacked up the car on all four and spun the front tire pass. side and no weird noise as far as I could tell. Still looking! :(

Ok, so I understand you rotated the tires, but is there still noise when you are not accelerating coming from the right front wheel/axle?

The noise is from the front passenger side, and it only happens when the car is moving!

Well in that case it could be a lot of things. Previously I thought you had said something about it being only when under acceleration, my apologies.

My suggestion is take off that wheel and play around with it a little. As injector stated, it ay be something with your caliper pins, or tie rods. With that broad of a problem, it's hard to diagnose.
