EVERY TIME I TURN MY WHEELS LEFT OR RIGHT I HEAR A CLUMK TYPE NOISE. I DONT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT COULDBE. ON MY OTHER LUMINA I CHANGED THE BALL JOINTS AND IT WENT AWAY

Posted

is it just a sound or can you feel it in the floorboards...

 

mine did that for a while, then my rear subframe bolts snapped... turned out the clunk was the subfrom shifting...

 

otherwise, try and wiggle your front wheels and if they move, check the ball joints

do not use AAMCO, they totally fucked my regal up, they're the reason it needed like, $4000 worth of repairs and i had to get that piece of shit i call a saturn.

If the clunking is repetative when moving in a turn, and the ball joints are alright, there's a good chance CV joints are worn.

i had the same exact problem with my 89 cutty, it was the CV joints. have fun 8)

God I hate those bastards. Pain in the royal ass. After a days work, i ended up having a shop do them.

Hell, for all the time and trouble, just install a brand new halfshaft.....that way you not only get a new CV joint, but a halfshaft too....

 

And its a lot easier than replacing just the CV joint.....

I have a clunk that used to only happen when turning left and right, So I got new struts and strut mounts, engine mounts (all), balljoints, passanger CV shaft, wheel bearing hub, new cradle bolts, cups and rubber bushings. After all that it now clunks everytime I hit the gas and everytime I hit the brakes, in addition to turning!? I can feel the clunk in the floor just above the rear cradle mounts, I pulled back the rug and I can see cracks in the rubber coating over the floor.

I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. IT IS LIKE WHEN EVER I GO OVER A BUMP IT HAPPENS. ALSO IT IS NEVER WHEN I TURN.

GEE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS EITHER, MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING DO TO WITH YOUR INCAPABILITY TO TURN CAPS LOCK OFF.
