Front end noise???

Featured Replies

Having some funny noises going on, when letting off the gas or shifting theres a knocking sound then when accelerating it goes away.

 

Also when turning left sounds like when you close a zip tie but constant while turning.

 

Help please :D

Bad right axle - clicking while turning left means a bad right CV joint. The clunking is probably the same thing - the joint is a bit loose, and the change from acceleration, to no acceleration causes the clunking noise.

 

Time to change out your axle.

ok there is no vibration on the freeway or any other driving time, just letting off the gas and shifting.

You won't feel it really on a straightaway at speed. When your at speed the axle is "straight" and balanced with a constant forward motion, any slack caused by a damaged CV is tight. When you decelerate the motion relaxes and allows the slack to "clunk" or vibrate. However, if the axle damage is more advanced, you can get quite a vibration at speed. When you are turning, the stress on the outer joint intensifies the slack caused by bad ball bearings in the joint, causing the signature click and pop.

 

Your wheel is not going to fall off, I drove from Vail Colorado, to St. Louis, MO on two jacked up cv's that blew going over the pass.

 

I have yet to see the inner DOJ go bad, in my case it has always been the outer CV.
