3267, I hear CLICKING!! - HELP!!
Posted by EsiTalon, Jul-17-01 01:35 AM
On the way to work today I was crusing with the windows down at 35mph in Madison and noticed a clicking sound... from the left side, or at least I think... the clicking would go faster and slower with my speed and would stop when I stopped... therefore it's not the engine... but probably the suspension?

I called Satan, and the tech was actually helpful, he mentioned that it might be the hubcap... the hubcap!?! that sounds weird... I'm going to take it off and see if that corrects the problem later today...

But in the meantime... does anyone have any ideas what might be causing the clicking sound?

Thanks!

Have you had your recalled ball joint replaced? If not, that is probably the sound you are hearing. Take it in to the dealership in IMMEDIATELY. Once it starts to go, it WILL fall apart with NO warning; your wheel will just fall off while you are driving. Trust me, I know from experience. Take it in and have it looked at TODAY.

I have the recall and have scheduled an appt. for next Monday, is that too long to wait? Is it safe to do my daily driving this week?

Well, when mine started creaking, it fell apart later the same day. I'd get it looked at as soon as possible.

when I make a HARD turn into a parking spot at low speeds a loud squealing sounds comes from the front of the car... it's at a much lower pitch than my previous encounters with loose belts squealing...

Any ideas?

Might be your pwer steering fluid...or maybe your CV-boot rippped. Check under the car and your rim for sludge.
