I’ve taken the car in to 3 of my most trusted mechanics who have done great work for me, and they either can’t replicate the sound, or they think it’s something that it’s not. Just making this post to see if anyone with this car has experienced something similar. I’ve replaced all the mounts including trans mount, cv joints, the ball joints and control arms, and the rear sway end links. When I let go of brakes and first accelerate it does a small click followed by a slightly louder one and then the sound is completely gone until I’ve come to a complete stop and take off again. Sometimes the click is louder than other times. I can recreate this while in drive with foot on brake and giving it some gas. The only time it doesn’t happen is when car is under no load like neutral and park. Let me know if you guys have any ideas on what to look for next

 

I presume the clicking is more noticeable from the front driver side?

 

Fnd a mechanic who can install a chassis mic.

Its a device w a bunch of different mics that they attach to a bunch of suspect places. Then drive and replicate the noise, and the loudest mic will be the broken part.

 

it seems to be coming pretty much right in the middle atleast from listening on the inside. I noticed today it is starting to sometimes make a single click on time with the car coming to a complete stop. Could it be something in the steering rack, or brakes maybe? It’s driving me nuts and I’ve taken it to every single mechanic in my area. Any ideas on even stuff to just check would be greatly appreciated

i just found this thread from 2007 and thinking this could be a similar situation. Let me know what you guys think

 

yeah i checked the mounts and as expected they are nice and tight. Please let me know if anyone has any idea this is driving me nuts.
