jeremy Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 My car started having a clicking sound. Seems like it is coming from the area of right front wheel. It is pretty steady until I slow down to 15mph, then it completely stops. Any ideas? thanks Jeremy Quote
tornado_735 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 Sounds like maybe a CV joint could be getting ready to fail. Does the clicking get any louder when your turn? Quote

RobertISaar Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 based on clicking alone, a CV is the most likely cause. does it cause any kind of vibration? Quote
tornado_735 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 In my experience, when a CV is on it's way out, it starts clicking in turns long before you get any noise while going straight. I'm leaning towards a hub or a CV. Quote
jeremy Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Posted June 13, 2010 no vibration at all either.....anyway to troubleshoot to verify it is CV before blindly replacing? Quote
RobertISaar Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 this is for a 06 GXP, i couldn't remember what year yours was... at the very least, it should maybe point to what is actually causing it. apparently i can't attach anything to posts anymore.... http://robertisaar.co.cc/web_documents/suspension.zip Quote
3pt1lumina Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Mine is doing the opposite, it's under 15 mph and it's as you turn the wheels. I would like to know as well... How hard are CV shaft's to do in these cars, (mine is a Lumina) but I'd imagine it's the same? Quote
AWeb80 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 CV's as cake. and i have one going bad on the honda and it clicks under heavy load at low speeds and NOT in turns. Quote
Night Fury Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Jeremy I'd put my money on the hub, but who knows. May be something so simple as a harness against the wheel or something Quote
AL Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Make sure there is nothing in your tire like a nail or something too Quote
birdman Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 could alawys jack the wheel up and shake things around, usually you can feel a bad hub. Quote
Night Fury Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Make sure there is nothing in your tire like a nail or something too Good call, could even be a pebble stuck in the tread Quote
jeremy Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Posted June 16, 2010 Good call, could even be a pebble stuck in the tread definitely nothing in the tire Quote
3pt1lumina Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Figured mine out... finally had a second person to turn the wheel while I went under there and it's definitely the left strut on my car. I know that doesn't help you so now I'm going to go with a CV shaft for your car. Quote
Night Fury Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 I personally doubt its the CV but what do I know Quote
tornado_735 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 You might jack that wheel up, and try spinning the wheel back and forth with the trans in park. I bet you'd get some noise if it was the CV. Quote
jeremy Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 well, the bearing/hub definitely needs to be replaced because it is humming pretty good now....I am going to look at finding the correct p/n for the CV and the hub as I do think both are two separate issues... Quote
jeremy Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 .....btw, anyone have a write-up on CV replacement on the post-gens?? Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 .....btw, anyone have a write-up on CV replacement on the post-gens?? i may be able to pull something up in alldata... Quote

AWeb80 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 I would think it wouldn't be that hard..... Quote
