MorganM Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 In a straight line? Sounds like the inner DOJs. Do you have your Fuji stock lift cranked in? Were they brand new? Cheap remanufactured? Swaped from a parts car? Are your motor and tranny mounts shot? Some things to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenw22 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I had some straight-line noise coming from a couple of new axles last year. It didn't get any better or worse over 6 months of driving, and it went away when I eventually replaced the front struts. I don't know what replacing the front struts has to do with axle noise, but that's what made it finally stop for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Where did you get the axles from? I had a rebuilt one last about 50 feet before it was worse than the old one. With rebuilt axles, it really is kind of a dice throw whether they're good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Brand new complete shafts MorganM,. what is meant by Fuji stock lift cranked in???? Its not when im going dead straight, but if i turn slightly left or right it clonks (only sometimes) On any steep corner or intersection The speed of the noise varies with my speed It only realy happens when I am accelerating (I even noticed it the other day when i decelerated to an intersection in 2nd gear, using the engine as the brakes) Is there supposed to be any free-play between the DOJ and the splined shaft that comes from the tranny? Could it be my bearings? It sounds like both sides are doing it, but not always at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
