Noise when Turning And Acceleraing

[curtie94]

Hi ever since I got my car about 1 1/2 years ago My car has made a noise when making turns while accelerating. I'm pretty sure that it is the cv shafts but the boots are in one piece and not torn at all. It does it both ways. I can feel the clunk in the floor of the car sometimes, other times I can barely hear it. Does this sound like CV or something else. On straightaways it is quiet and smooth. The car is a 2 door with 170,000 miles and has a 2" lowering kit in it. I did have one time while driving I hit railroad tracks and I heard a loud ping, but that was the only time and it was after the noise started. Thanks for your help.

that noise is almost always the CV joint.

Thats what I thought I just wanted another opinion. Thanks I think I'm going to change then in a couple weeks.

Ya my car has started doing that too. I am going to check out the cv joint soon!

If it makes a real audible "clic-ack click-ack click-ack" noise when turning then it would most certainly be your CV.

However I'm very interested if it isnt as there is another "noise when turning" people are experiencing which has nothing to do with the CV joint but I have never seen a fix for.

Just putting this out there (not intending to hijack this thread) as it appears to possibly have some relevance (may actually be the OP's exact problem). My experiences are below.

The other type of noise on a turn
--------------------------------

Is not as distinct or as loud as a failing CV joint.

Its only audible from inside the car (bareley if any on the outside).

Its only noticable under load (that is with at least some power applied - alot of power applied same thing).

It disappears when coasting on that very same turn (no matter how tight). This suggests it may not be the actual joints of the CV shaft (reason being is that if the joint has a flaw no matter how fast or slow you turn it should make a noise - as a bad CV joint still turns on the same flawed surfaces no matter how fast or slow you turn).

It sounds more like scrapping noise (can even be described as vibrating in nature). Not a constant scraping sound when it does come up which suggests it may be a loose part (that may have been worn out or come loose).

My dad's car has been doing this for at least a year and a half and does not seem to affect the performance of the car (no expected wobble in a turn).

The CV boots are also oiled and sealed. I replaced all 4 x CV boots myself, cleaned all the old grease and applied plenty of new grease (all before any noise was even noticed). I could say with confidence and near certainty, that there is no problems with the CV joints.

So I'm looking forward to hearing the development of this symptom and the eventual confirmation of the problem.

The noise I have a a real audible Click-Clack but it does go away If I let go of the gas. I will change them and see what happens.
