[Biturbos4] Strange noises

[ken kgrant]

Ok, this happens when I am stopped at a light, and the
road is at a downward incline i have my car in neutral
and if i release the brakes it inches forward slowly.
i hear creeping sound from my left front wheel.  at
the same tim i have also been noticing that when i
turn slowly with the left front wheel shakes.  it is
very reminiscent of torn cv boot in my previous two
cars.  

i will have to go get it checked fro my 55k oil change
sometime next week.

thx
