hey i posted a message up before about the clicking sound my car is makeing from the front left side of the car when i turn. so i brought it to the dealer and they said that its normal and theres nothing we can do about it. i told them it cant be normal for when i turn my car makes a clicking sound any ideas sounds like the dealer dont want to fix the car.

Hey Im having the same problem with my car. Took it to dealer (i have warranty) and they *fixed it* by putting grease on the hood hinges because thats what caused it. But as I thought that couldn't have been the problem, it STILL makes the sound. I have a post titled "Too Weird to Explain...." in this maintenance forum and u can read what people may think it could be..well what it most likely is as I have always thought it had to do something with suspension, not the damn hood hinges...neway goodluck and tell them to kiss your ass (dealer) and find the problem and mention what you think it could be. If you have warranty still, they may ignore it by using that excuse (of nothing being wrong) so they save their own time and money. Tell them who's boss and take a stand when it comes to these mechanics cuz its either they want your money and they fix it right away or they just simply say sorry my time is valuable when I rip people off. lol.

holla!

If it clicks more under acceleration while turning you have a bad drive shaft. Not too horrible for part cost but some labour involved.

It depends on what kind of sound it is. Sounds like the dealer is ing you. If it is a cliking sound when turning only two things come to my mind. 1. Your axle bearings are shot, 2. Your strut bearings. Of corse i cant tell you the real problem because i cant listen to it. From my experience if it is a fast cliking sound when you are moving it is most likely your axles and if it is a slow cliking sound whilr moving or still it is most likely your strut bearings.

its a fast clicking sound that wont stop unless i stop the car or i fix the wheel so im going in a straight line if im turing it does it and if im backing up seems to do it more when i back up into a parking spot or out of a driveway but it does do it pulling into a parking sport dont seem to do it if im turing onto another street or anything like that just when im starting to get going.

hey wus up all? anyway just offering some of my technical insight. all of you with clicking or knocking rather, sounds whilst moving or turning should check yo CV Joints yeah its kinda like a U joint on a drive shaft but a U joint wouldn help much on a halfshaft due to the fact that uh.... its constantly turning U joints stay strait anyway first turn your wheel one way, all the way and look at the rubber boot if its torn on any side its probly worn out. and im not sure but didnt i post a reply similar to this on another of your questions something like uhm.. off my head popping niose under acceleration I think dat wus you if not oh well maybe everone has tis problem


the fastest jbody?
