While accelerating slowly or making a turn I hear a continous thumping noise under low rps. any idea what it is ?? ? ??

 

How old is your car?

Where does it sound like the noise is from?

A clicking during low speed turns usually means a bad CV joint or axle.

 

its a 2003 cl type s . The cars is about 6months old and only has 6,000 miles on it

 

somewhere under the hood

 

I get a weird vibration in the gas peddle and shifter in my auto CL-S sometimes. I'd like to know what it is, too.

 

Hmmm. I'm not able to figure it out from your description.

Maybe try popping the hood and listen while someone slowly revs the car.

Check out the FAQ (click in my signature) for the usual noises, otherwise bring it in to your dealer.

 

holy shit. i have the same f**n problem in my 1st gen. I tried to figure it out. lemme guess, it feels almost like the wheels are skipping?? its a lot harsher then....lets say....abs, becuase you can feel it in the seats and stuff. ive been trying to figure it out. i just thought i would leave it alone for now. PLEASE post any developments

 

When I'm driving even a slow speeds, my tires are really loud. It almost sounds like I have a bald spot on my tire and when I go faster the noise gets faster... It so loud it sounds like a snow tire instead of all seasons.. I have the P6000's and I'm not too happy with them.. Concerned, I went to my tire shop and them rotate, balance and check for abnormal wear and they didn't find anything.. I do notice my car swerving to the right but I have yet to converm this, it may be the road. Also when I brake I hear some clicking noises, this may be unrelated. When I got the wheel balanced, it seemed to help but it came back.. Any feedback is welcom.

Okay after searching through some threads, I got a better idea of what to look for..
I jacked up the front end and the first thing I tried was push the dust shield away from the rotor... that did not solve the problem.
I tried grabbing the north and side and tried to move it, it did not.. hm.. maybe not wheel bearing.
The next thing I did was engage the hand brake, start the car, and put it in neutral. I hand turned the wheel and it turned with some resistance, but I did not hear any noise.
Next I got in the car, and put it in D... and I hear the griding noise!! This eliminates any tire wear issues... The sound is much more clearer and apparent since I am not driving and there is no road noise... VERY VERY LOUD grinding noise as if metal is dragging against the concrete, but not constant, but sounds gets faster and faster the more I accelerate. Before I thought it was just the left side but now it sounds like it's louder on the right side than the left. So I leave it in D and I get out and first thing I noticed was the left wheel slowly and and then suddenly stops spinning as if the brake waw suddenly engaged... the other right side is spinning freely....
So I think, hm.. maybe brake pad/cylinder problem?
Then I went underneath the car and looked at behind the wheel, look at the hub, and look at the cv-joint... Looks good...
Then I look right wheel.... At first I didn't notice but I see some grease on the cv-joint or axle, and dust and gunk build up on the grease... The accordion looking rubber cover was still in tact, but where the metal part starts, there is grease.. ONLY in that specific area... OH NO!! CV or axle problem??? Then I have my wife accelerate and I listened closely and its sounds like its coming from the passenger (right) side wheel well,, but I hear it from the center as well.. and once acceleration is over, the left wheel stops spinning... soooooooooooooooo.
My rookie opinion...
Left side- Wheel bearing problem?
Right side- CV-joint/ axle problem?
I noticed on the highway the handling gets rougher and louder on right hand turns.... But its not the usual cv-joing clicking noise...So is it both or neither??

If I took it to the dealer, how much would it cost for both jobs? I would do it my self but I am allittle time deprived because of work... Again, thanks for the help.

 

decolion - are you sure you're using at least 92 octane gasoline? It could be pinging from the engine.

 

it think its everyone getting this wheel bearing problem.

 

Ever since I first bought my car when I accelerate really hard I hear a "Yeeeehawwwww" sound coming from somewhere in the cockpit. Could it be this sound that you are talking about?
