nathan_d Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I have a 82' gl and when i am accelerating or decelerating there is a knocking or clicking noise that seems to be coming from the front passenger side wheel area. Any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyboy Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 CV or Inner Double offset? Check your rubber boots for wear and tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 im thinkin it sounds like cv joint is shot, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 sounds like a cv to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbh Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 does it do it more when you're turning and accelerate/decelerate? For me, it ended up being none other than timing. When I decelerated it backfired, which sounded like a muffled click coming from the left of the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_d Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 It doesn't seem to do it when i am turning just at a spot around 2.5-3 rpm's when i am pushing or releasing the pedal a little bit Sorry i am not that great w/ cars.. and do not know the difference between a cv and inner double offset if it helps it is only front wheel...

fbh Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 try shifting to a much different gear and pushing/releasing the pedal again, see if it still does it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 and do not know the difference between a cv and inner double offset if it helps it is only front wheel... There are two CV (constant velocity, as opposed to a universal joint) joints on each axle, the outer one (closest to the wheel) is just referred to as a cv, but the inner one (attaches to the gearbox) can also be referred to as a double offset joint, since as well as allowing angular displacement, it also allows linear displacement - ie you can push the axle in or out of it. Might be loose ball joints or bushings - jack up the wheel (securely, of course!) and try to move the wheel/hub assembly back/forward etc (a pry bar helps). If it moves, see if you can see what joint is moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbh Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 ok, I'd say CV's as well then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
