xbeerd Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 hmm, i'll double check the pitchbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 ugh, I have the same clunk only I ONLY get it under deceleration, and only when I'm not using the brakes. IE when I'm driving along and lift off the gas to coast. I have a CV joint that I know is blown and struts that sound horrible. So those are first up to be fixed.

So those are first up to be fixed. sucks eh? im replacin my rear suspension, will probably end up just getting new struts for the front, god i hate takin the car apart with the lift on it. pitchbar seems to check out just fine. i tightened the front bolt a bit but it wasnt loose enough that i would have expected it to make a clunk.

Tosh Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 mine sounds like its coming from the passenger front area, same side I have the bad CV. I thought it was an engine or trans mount but I checked them the other day and they look okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 changed out my knuckle for one with seemingly better wheel bearings, hub seemed fine so i didnt change that. i do think i have warped rotor now tho. clunk still there. still gonna try to get a video of it.

xbeerd Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 here is the video, i just tightened up my axle nut a little bit, gonna take er for a spin and see if that makes any difference, hell, just trying anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Gut says U joint. Could be a CV though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Doesn't seem like a U-joint. I've rode in the car, and it is right around the foot well area. I don't hear any noise at speed, indicating a sloppy failing U-joint. Axles don't make any noise that I heard. Hmm, so why the pop every now and then. I'm still thinking steering related. Scott, I get a pop like yours every once in a while (Not as loud) but it is 100% the same! I wonder if this has to do with the lift? Did you car ever do it before the lift? I don't remember it popping when I rode with ya. EDIT: I wonder if the Swapbar plays a roll in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I also have a mystery pop evey now and then in both my ea82 cars. I still have yet to find what it is. And they are both at stock height. I have just decided to let it ride for now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 im pretty sure it did it before the lift. maybe its just accentuated with the lift on. the lift blocks on the struts are tight, i know those arent moving around, and i really dont thin it would be the tophat, maybe a trip out to wadsworth tomorrow Tom? LOL. you guys dont think my trans is goin or something do ya?? cuz that'd be lame. is there any way to actually tell, if steeringwise, if the inner tie rods are going bad?

xbeerd Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 could a u joint be makin the clunk, then transferin the vibration to the trans mount? eh, i wouldnt think so i guess. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just decided to let it ride for now, id rather not let it ride, since its happening just about everytime i take off from a stop, and i think i may have heard it as im going over a bump, maybe it IS a CV?? but i get no clickin or anything when turning?

TheLoyale Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I could roll out to Wads if ya want. I'm only gonna clean the EA82 tomorrow evening. You can tell the inner rods are going, if you remove your outer end from the knuckle, and push/pull on the shaft, if there is any movement, replace it. Also, they shouldn't be able to turn/rotate real easy. Think of it as a Balljoint, to easy to move, and its crap. As for your trans, I doubt it. You have no grinding going into any gear, I don't hear any bearing noise. It could possibly be a u-joint and transferring sound, but, eh. I think it would moan at speed or something, considering its traveling at 20,000mph at 65mph Edited June 8, 2012 by TheLoyale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 i moan at speed too. LOL. grinds going into 3rd, but i attest that more to the lack of ANY shifter bushing left in the shifter. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storydude1 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That's something under pressure and load. Too deep to be anything else. Time to start where crossmember meets car and work backwards, checking every connection from tires to body. It almost sounds like your crossmember is shifting.

TheLoyale Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Crossmember shifting, That would be interesting. Although, I had my crossmember nuts loose and unthreaded almost half way down the shank once, as I forgot to tighten them up after an Axle swap. I didn't have any noises, I noticed it the next time I had the wheel off, Whoops! :-p perhaps someone needs to hang on to the underside of the car, while moving back and forth to pin point it lol... I am not gonna volunteer for that one, Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ugh yep thats the SAME clunk I get when I lift off the gas. Mine seems to come from the passenger front strut/axel area. I just got my new EMPI axel in the mail yesterday I'll see if it goes away after swapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
