[pninja82]

i agree,you get what you pay for. i know its tight sometimes when it comes to cash but this is your baby your talking bout! seriously, check your axles,ball joints,tie rods and anything suspension related. a snapped axle sucks!

my outer tie rod is also wobbly, try replacing it and see if that helps it..mine used to make a noise but after I replaced axles it went away..it took a couple of days for it to go away, but i dont hear it anymore..

my car used to make a clicking noise also when turning left. then one day i heard a loud thud and the lower balljoint snapped. I was thrown into a ditch immediately, so i would definitely get that checked bud.

Go to your local auto parts store and buy a chilton or haynes manual. It will give you step by step instructions with pictures. A great book for a beginner

Thank you sir i've been driving around for about 3k miles with this lol it will be so nice to have it fixed

under hard turning my suspension sounds like a pomeranian getting sat on, could that be my CV shaft? it could be the struts too cuz i blew one a couple of days ago when i went 40 over a 6" deep pot hole (its fun when they sneak up on you :| )

[memphisman]

^^ I also have a blown strut on my right front.

slightly off topic: for your future purchase, try to avoid autozone axles or the like (o'reilly's, advanced auto, etc.) because most are re-manufactured. in other words, they're more than likely going to take a shit on you within the next couple years, or even that same year. my brother replaced the ones on mine before i got it about 2 1/2 years ago and they've been bad for over a year now. i got some from EMPI that awaiting to be installed that are NEW, not re-manufactured and they cost like 60-70 each.

Eh. I got both of my axles from advanced and they have been beatin up left and right for over a year. No ripped boots or any problems.

Yo I changed the the tie rods and nothing? What The Fuck!!!!!!!!

[memphisman]

How in the world do i get the axle out? Bought new one and new tie rod ends got axle out of hub but dont know how to get it out? Just use an axle puller? Sorry for the dumb newbie questions

EMPI Axles are the shit! I've got those in my car right now and they're nice and solid. The pass. side one is 50k miles old and no issues at all.

Ok gotta crazy clicking sound the other day while driving and turning,but it only seemed to happen on left turns this was starting to freak me the hell out until it went away! then the other day while driving home on the high way i heard a Loud Dud!! and felt a hard vibration on my foot?? What the Hell can This Be??

Yes i have noticed this also but on my Dads CB. It only occurs on left hand turns.

At the moment its so subtle you would think its just a vibration inside the cabin somewhere.

I have recently changed my axles (well its still original just the boots as i was able to spot the tear and replaced it before it started clicking) and is 100% its not the problem. I tested it lock to lock right to left turns and no clicking.

The noise occurs when you are cruising and taking a left turn. There is a slight vibration / loose sounding but not serious. As I said its so slight you doubt that it could just be internal plastics vibrating or rubbing with the steering wheel (such as the plastic housing around the indicator and washer stalks).

However i really believe its a mechanically related (loose or worn) as upon closer scrutiny there is a slight vibration coming in from my steering wheel. Could it be the steering rack?

What was everyones experience (signs, sounds and feel of wear and tear) that would indicate it to be:

Steering Rack

Stabiliser bar (rubbers bushings)

Inner Tie Rods

Outer Tie Rods

Upper Ball Joints

Lower Ball joints

Radius rods (bushings)
