28022, list anything that can make a clunk sound when turning or acellerating. Posted by 97grnRS, Sep-27-05 01:40 PM
i cannot figure out whats making the clunk sound in my car . it sounds louder sometimes . expecially if i turn hard and acellerate or reverse. but mostly when i just start to go front whether its fast or slow. i do not think its the motor mounts cause they are not cracked at all and i cannot pull or push the motor if i try to . i let someone kinda pop the clutch and i looked at motor and it seems to not move hardly at all . but just incase i oredered full insert kit for all mounts. ive also replaced the sway bar links and shocks and springs and i still hear it. i have no power steering so its hard enough to turn and when i do turn all the way ,either way and pull out i always hear this clunk. i hear it if i hit a bump hard sometimes too but not as bad. it sounds like a ball joint issue to me but they all look fine, not popped or anything and i try to pull around parts with my hands to see if they move but nothing does. all bolts are tight too. what could this be?

Loose lugnuts, bad strutmount, bad ball joint, hub, axle, control arm bushings, loose caliper, loose crossmember. I'm sure there are things I missed to. Jack up the car under the unibody rail and shake down the suspension. use a prybar the pry up on the wheel or shake it with your hands at 12 and 6 and 3 and 9. There is obviously a worn or loose suspension component, and don't forget to check your lugnuts.

if i had to take a stab at it i'd say cv axles, just something to look into. that clunking is what sounds like what we ran into a few times when i worked at this shop that turned out to be cv axles that had been well past their prime

Any idea/thoughts on which direction it's coming from?
