My car has been acting funny lately. ive been feeling a knocking in the car. i cant pin point the location but its been getting worse to a point that when its being driven it makes almost a grinding noise when the wheel spins past a certain point. its not the cv boot or axle ive checked that. its an awful noise. my dad says i could have hurt the transaxle? i think i damaged my tranny by being so low. you guys woould know better

 

could be your brakes or your bearings going bad if its not your axles.

 

Sounds like your bearings or the axles

 

some pics i took. i think it might be the cv boot after all. the torn part is connected to the wheel

 

yea i was gonna say either ^^^^that or the wheel bearing.

get used to it. thats gonna be happening alot.

 

i agree with them. also water in the gasoline can cause knocking also.

 

so its my wheel bearing?

 

If you have a torn boot, that sounds like the prob

 

Is it normal for me to go thru those constantly? It seems I have to replace those every 10-14 months. I think I've had my CV replaced 4 times in the last 3 years.

 

CV Boot.

 

no its not normal, but it happens. ive been threw just about the same as you. as alignment can help a little. but depending on how low you are its gonna keep happening.

 

I would blame the brake pads and the rotors on it but have it checked to be sure.

 

get a new axle, its like $50-75 with a core charge. takes a few hours. theres a write up somewhere. my transmission shop charges like 115 a side, installed.
