The front left tire seems to be locking up or get caught in reverse. When I'm in drive it seems to be fine, but when I'm in reverse these is a loud roaring/bumping sound, practically not allowing me to move the car in reverse. People who have watched the tire when I move in reverse says it looks like the tire is going to vibrate off. I'm not even going to pretend I know a lot about cars, because I don't. But I've searched and looked extensively as to what the problem might be without getting it looked at by a mechanic, because I didn't have the money to fix it. Now I do, and I was hoping to get some idea of what it might be before taking to a mechanic. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

 

Sounds like a drive axel issue. It may be loose or not connecting properly anymore.
