if u know suspension help me !

[ahhsimon]

my car has brand new axles, perfect alignment

but anyhow when i turn my car it would make a clunk sound

but when i drive or take a hard corner everything is fine, the drive is fine. but if im parked and i turn my steering wheel fast i hear the clunk sound

the thing is that i hear it from both side of the wheels in front of the car

im leaning towards inner or outer tie rode. many peopel doubt that it is the steering rack and pinion

ive driven the car for two months already and the sound is getting louder.

let me know what you guys think, i have yet to check out under the car to fix it

your axels might not be popped in all the way!

does the steering wheel move with out the tires moving? if so how much?

jack up the car and push the wheel side to side. how much play does it have before the wheel moves? do the same up and down and see how much play it has.

jack the car up till the tire is a few inches aboce the ground. take a pry bar and stick it under the wheels.. then try prying it up with a little pressure and see if you hear the popping noise


thats the best thing i can do for you over the internet. i cant find a problem with out looking at it. if there is any play at th things i told you above then see what it moving ang what isnt moving. doing all the above you should know the condition of, inner and outer tie rods, ball joints, steering rack and wheel bearings

[ahhsimon]

there's no play on the steering wheel, hmm axles not in all the way? is that possible ? the sound comes mostly on the driver side

[SickSi99]

its possible the cv axle popped out of the boot.

My friends Del Sol is doing the exact thing. Its his inner tie rods.

[ae92boi]

^probably

my old corolla did that for awhile and it was the inner tie rods


is the noise like a click click or a really loud clunk?

Its going to be ball joint, tie rod, or axle. But I highly doubt axle.



Thank my friend with the Del Slo.

[ahhsimon]

thanks for the replys u guys. my driver side tie rod is going out , its making screetching sound when turning. then imma change the inner tie rod of hte driver side too

ill let u guys know. probably work on the car on monday

[Arthas]

Change the outer first before the inner. I believe its only the outer that has the bushing.

[ahhsimon]

as day goes buy im filled with mroe possibilities -_- so tie rod is only if it makes sound from going left and right; wheel bearing up and down

has anyone think that it can be a lower ball joint???

[Arthas]

Get down there and look?
