weird clicking when turning left

[supermario300hp]

Ok when i bought my car the previous owner told me when turning the car clicks and that it was the gear oil he used when putting in the lsd. Could this be right? It sounded like bs i was figuring it was the axel. He also said though that he just replaced them, thanks in advanced for your opinions

ya sounds like a cv axle

True, go underneath and check the CV boots - both inner and outer - to see if they're split open. If so, all of the grease have been spun out.

"Click-click-click" ... that's a dreaded sound for FWD cars to emit.

Check your tie rods

 

[supermario300hp]

i did jack it up and check should have posted that info. boots all look good. wheels spin freely an there zero play when trying to shake the wheels. anything else it could be?

Its kinda scary when turning.... im worried my wheel will fall off or something.

I will input I have a quaife LSD in my fwd brand new terhune race axles. It seems at low rpm/speed I here a clicking noise but never when turning. I'm running diagueen mr fluid and am not sure if I should add anything for the LSD. It's only at really low speeds and never anytime else anyway. So which LSD are you running op?

 

[RedGST98]

make a vid if you can.. even though the CV joints are not split does not mean its still not the CV joint wheel side that is going out. I have had a fe go out on other cars that the boots were just fine until they ripped off on a turn on a main entersection.

Im running a quiafe as well. ive got no noise at low rpms or rolling to a stop. only when making lefts.its so weird.

Ill try to put one up tomorrow. how much do they usually go for if i wanna go oem and replace it or do you think i should upgrade since im going to pull it anyways

my 2 cents.. if your using it as a daily driver you can go OEM and be fine.. if your gonna take it to the track and what not Id say upgrae it.. the track on launch the traction is a killer on grip.. on the street your tires will spin so not as much force on the axels...

I have a H1E turbo but its a street car so im still running OEM axels with no problems as of yet..

You want to go OEM.. iw ould suggest going through rockauto.com or checkers.. check the shipping and price .. i usually use rockauto though..

Ya bro sounds like a cv axle problem in your case. It's the ussual sign when turning and hearing the click.

 

[sciondan]

when your turning and hearing this clicking, do you feel a pulsation in the steering wheel?

 

[supermario300hp]

yes. slight pulsation. also i dont have power steering in my.

 

[razrman8]

It may sound stupid, but check to make sure your wheel is tight. It might not be the sound you are describing, but I have seen weirder stuff happen.

 

[supermario300hp]

i just checked that. wheels are good and tight.

 

[DSM1G90]

?..wheel bearing..?

Jack the corners up and put it on jackstands, start the motor, drop it in 1st and watch the axles going into the knuckles as they are turning..

Turn the steering wheel during the process to see the action for the front.

 

[97talon83]

if the steering wheel is pulsating while you turn it could be 3 things..
1. wheel bearing
2. control arm
3.ball joint

usually an axel wont cause that unless its bent

 

[supermario300hp]

thanks for the input. i checked everything. im just gonna start replacing stuff until its fixed.

Yeah, I know this thread's old. From my experience with wheel bearings, they usually make more of a scraping / hummung sound whether you're turning or not.

I'd like to know the verdict on this one please. Did you narrow it down? Or did you end up crashing on the thruway making a high speed turn?

 

[rrayray6911]

mosts definetley a cv man id check ## boots.. but be carefull when it goes its not fun

 

[supermario300hp]

Changed everything, cv joints axels control arms and it still does it. called up the previous owner he said its the gear oil for the lsd and its done it only since he installed.so idk i just gave up.

 

[rough]

Did you ever fix the issue? Curious as I have the same issue.

 

[Thungar]

bearings can still go bad even in a boot just takes a lot longer.

 

[AshyBone]

He said he replaced the axels and it still makes the sound. Honestly I think it has more to to with the LSD or the transmission iteslf.
