I have stock suspension (yes I did search) and I am hearing a clunking noise when I turn right and when I hit small bumps from my front passengers side wheel. What could it be? When I searched everyone who had the problem had already dropped their car.

 

my car started doing that yesterday


i hop its a tie rod end so i can get a camber kit

 

Yesterday was the first time mine did it too.

 

i'l let you know what it is on monday

 

cv joints starting to go maybe

is it only when you turn?

 

I had the same problem, just replaced my strut arm bushing and sway bar bushing. My strut arm bushing was disintegrated, and crumbled when they went to pull it out. I bet that's what it is, either that or a ball joint, or cv joint. Thought mine was a blown shock, turned out to be the bushings

 

Yea is it a loud clunking or is more like clicking noise? clicking noise mean your CV joints are shot.

 

i have the same problem also

 

definatly the tie rod end.. jack up just eh side and move the wheel left to right (as if you were turning) and if it moves then its the tie rod

 

i had that problem in my integra, and one day i was roastin my tires off for fun. and snap the cv joint boot had a hole and leaked all the liquid, and i ended up snaping the axle

 

I hear a slight click coming from my driver's side wheel well when I start to accelerate,... could a bad CV joint make this noise??

 

also on our cars(well atleast on mine) when Will put new brakes on the car he had to take out two pointless screws to do it and it clicks when I start to accelarate too......so i would think that before CV joints......but if not the CVs could be on the way out

 

CVs only click when going around a corner.

 

That's weird,... mine only clicks when I go straight,.. what else could be causing the problem?

 

shit.........

 

would the recall cover this?

 

no

 

I took my car in to a shop (a family friend with a huge wheel and tire store) and they told me it was some kind of pins and it would cost 70 bucks installed, they didn't have the parts then but could get some when I told them I was on my way the next time. He also emphasized that it is perfectly safe to drive.

 

pins? there arnt any pins in our suspension man

 

He said something about there being a pair of pins and they both had to be replaced im not sure if it was in the suspension or the wheel or where ever it was but thats all I know

 

bs

 

He is going to do it for free so I will tell you how it goes.

 

ok

 

i wanna see what this pin he's talking about that are $70 each.

 

Even cotter pins for the axles wouldn't be $70

 

How much would it be because an hour of labor is $68 Normally at his shop.

 

there arnt cotter pins for the axles, just for the ball joints and tie rod ends


loll search on google for cotter pin see if you think its worth 68 dollars for installing them

 

Knew it was one of those, thanks shizzlenizzle

 

Would something like this create the noise I described?

 

Fixed, it was some kind of stabilizer bar pins.

 

Hmm, I will have to try this. Mine clicks only when turning. This was about 1 month after having both transaxels replaced. The cv joints look new and there is no visual cues to indicate damage or wear.

 

mine click..but they are both torn to shit

 

I wish I could really figure this out. It almost sounds like the tire is hitting something in the wheel well. There are no unusual signs of wear on the tire either. Hmmmm

 

The best part is, it doesn't click all the time! doh! I tried to have a friend check it out for me, and it decided not to click that entire day.
