clicking noise from right wheel

[edwinelisia]

i have another problem, when i push my front right car down, it would produce clicking sound (each push 1 click)

i was tracking down the problem and i found that it wasnt the shocks nor brakes

is it possible the click sound was from the arm? arm joint possibly?
or the sway bar links?

any of you have this kind of problem ? and is it dangerous to leave it ?

ya man i have the same problem in my car but the sound comes from left side and i think it from break or drum break and the sound comes like that ehk ehk... and the sound comes when i drive and it did not stop antel i stop the car then the sound go so what u think that from :confused:

is it like a creeking kinda? i have it some times sounds like somthing slips a bit or somthing. could be a loose caliper? and when you hit the brakes it pushes the caliper back? im not really sure...

[edwinelisia]

no no, not the caliper, i asked someone to push the car repeately while iam down there checking the click click click.
and its not from the brake and shocks
the strongest feeling are from the arm and sway and tie rod, i cant determine from which joint its clicking since all the vibration feel kinda the same

[kowalski]

hmm there is 2 bolts holding the control arm on the frame for the bushing check if those are tight, i think mine is my seat sliding a bit cause i forgot to put 2 washers in. it also oo i think i know check the link between the sway bar and the controll arm theres a little double link bushing it may be loose and hitting somthing. other then that i duno without taking a look at it.

sooo not from break or drum break mm but as u saa when u hit the break sound go same thing in my car sound comeing when i hit break the sound go i think need to check the washers and check the joint BUT any problem will happen if not fix or no problem need to know?

[kowalski]

it depends on what is making the noise, it could be a bad thing it could be nothing at all if your not sure then i suggest you take it to a shop and get them to take a quick look at it, get it estimated so they tell you whats wrong but you dont have to pay.

i ve another problem.
i just lowered my car. and everytime my front right wheel hit a pothole, it clunk really loud. not for my left wheel
check everything that i took off and tighten them up, strut mount tight, control arm to shock tight, tie rod tight, caliper tight, etc etc, sway bar link to arm tight.

btw i put grease on my sway bar bushing (the frame one). can that causing clunking?

im scared when i drive it and it clunk

hi there for the nose in my car i already fix it and the nose was in front right wheel the same place in ur car it's from the drum break when u ride ur car sound will come and when the drum break's comes hot sound will be more so what i do i change 2 drum break in front and sound gone away now iam happey :lol:
try it and see

[kowalski]

how loud is the clunking, could be a worn shock mount. they make a clunking noise when they have packed in, the y arn't too expensive either so it might be worth it to replace that, the grease wouldn't cause a clunking, there isn't supposed to be grease there tho... anyways good luck, also another thing could be the sway bar link is a little off center where its mounted, and its hitting the sway bar when you go over a bump, i had that problem when i did my front suspension, but unless you have tampered with it it should be perfect.

[edwinelisia]

hi mkspeed. drum break ? brake ? what do you mean by drum break?

yeah that what i thot too, shock mount or sway bar link, but i dont understand.
sometimes when i turn left really hard, it clunk too.
how much is the front shock mount kowalski :) ?

[kowalski]

you can get them for like 30$ i believe

[edwinelisia]

kowalski. where can i get upper strut mount for 30$?
i wanna get one. is it lodrco ?
how bout sway bar link.

[kowalski]

actualy sorry the rears you can get for 30$ the fronts are like 70$ i think. i got lots of stuff off of ebay, it was fairly inexpensive, but you aslo dont have much selection as to the parts you get, just OEM. if you want to go aftermarket check Tunerworks http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/subcategory_detail.asp?modelcode=E30&subcat_id=96

OR the IE website

also check bowow auto parts, they might be cheaper then lordco.

[edwinelisia]

when i read 30 ... thats darn cheap. and ill go to white rock if i have to to get that hehe.
