Nice explaining variety of signs of bad drive axle. The over 45mph humming or shacking is most likely axle issues. Also could be wheel Hub Bearing. Axle is cheap and needed after 100k so change first. Then do hub bearings if any noise persist. Most likes only when turning slightly it will start humming at that point.
A grown man will get ripped off at a mechanic. A single woman will get taken to the cleaners. lol. Street racers just put their car on jackstands in their garage & fix it themselves.
Great video and to the point. Ford Transit Connect 2017 had a bad engine mount (leaked oil) so I changed all 3 thinking that was cause of vibrations. Then clicking started. I will change axles over holiday. Thx
I just wanted to say thank you again. The time and effort. Using real parts. Having great sound quality. This video was smart and thoughtful. Thank you deeply.
This is exactly my situation right now. When accelerating from a complete stop I hear that clunky noise also when your left or right …I’m just gonna replace both front axle
I have been dealing with trying to pinpoint these same sounds coming from my lifted Ranger for months now.. That 'ting ting ting' sound is exactly how it started when rolling down the road. It has become progressively worse and grinds and pops when in a tight turn radius, especially in reverse. Thank you for this video, I'm closer to figuring my issue out than I was before I seeing it! 👍
Lift adds extra stress to the cv axle because it makes the angle steeper even with added diff drop spacers. I noticed right away on my 93 sidekick, my OEM cv axles went a month after I lifted. They were already old, lift finished them off
2004 Pajero ,click only when taking off ,right rear side ,no clik clik when driving only when taking off from stop ,love this channel very smart fella,hello from Australia new subscriber glad to be here
Hi! I have a 2010 Camry that does the exact same thing!! One Loud click noise when Accelerating from a stop and wont make any other sound till I stop and accelerate again. Did you find out the exact cause?
This video was very helpful I've been doing a lot of research since my car is making that clunking sound on acceleration and when I break and at times the ABS light comes on it's hard to diagnose it could either be the wheel bearing or the CV axle online research has been really unhelpful but I think this video helped me narrow it down to the CV axle
I replaced both axles on a 99 Honda , it still giving premature axle failure symptoms help! When I’m going 35/40 on curved roads , and turning and give any amount of gas into the turn it feels bad vibration and sounds like vibration from the front end of my vehicle . All the suspension parts have been replaced and I have new rotors calipers and pads as well .
I have a knocking sound in the area of engine on our 2003 Chevy Cavalier. The sound depends on rpm, but doesn't change if you shift gears. So I hope it might be a worn CV Axle on the Passenger side (Right side). When I've replaced the transmission fluid on that car I also noticed, that the part of the inner part of the CV Axle on RS is covered w/oil or smth. Nothing is dripping, but the surface is kind of wet. I think maybe it is leaking CV Axle seal causes all that noise. The film is very helpful for me. Thank you.
This video was fire. It did not tell me what the noise is that I am experiencing but I learned a ton and I know the noise is not coming from axel. Thank you for this video. Very helpful
Once again you have saved us from expensive Diagnostic and shop repairs. Should there be any back and forth movement of the cv axle , between the wheel and the engine? Thank you
I have a Mazdaspeed 3 , I have bad clunking, I thought it might be sway bar bushings. It recently started popping a little bit while turning, not much only a couple of pops. Car has 130k miles on original axles.
I replaced everything except the cb shafts on an 05 trailblazer LS about 3 years ago….it all of the sudden started making this weird humming grinding sound from the front end…I thought the wheel bearings went bad again but they’re looking ok…only thing I can think of is the cv shafts are making the noise or the u joints possibly…
My 2014 Jetta has started developing a rhythmic speed dependent clunk whenever I let off the gas… it’s got 260k on it so I’m guessing it’s the drivers side axle… changed the wheel bearing on that side about 30k km ago… safe to say it’s nothing else if it’s rotational noise? Never does it while accelerating or under load.
1:37 is it safe to drive like this for awhile before i get it fix? Or push it back in? I used my vehicle for delivery and just today i heard a popping noise like what you said. Maybe i didn't push it all the way in, about 2 weeks ago. And now its making the noise. Funny is the noise came back after a car wash. Pop pop pop when in motion. If its safe to continue so, i get it check on Sunday, which today is Saturday. Have to earny money today.
This was a great video. Just replaced my left CV joint. I have a weird clicking noise when going over speed bumps and I really can't find anything on TH-cam about it. It's not the CV joint, but it almost sounds like the same metallic click.
Great video. Mine is now vibrating during acceleration only. Other times it's fine. I will replace it out, but I am wondering if the vibration is a "beginning warning" and I have some time before it actually goes bad??
Thanks for this video, I'm not sure if my driveshaft is faulty, I get a distinct clunk when putting the car into reverse or drive from a standstill, but oddly not immediately, so about one second after I have selected 'Drive' I get a 'clunk' from the right hand side of the car, could this be a faulty/worn driveshaft I don't know, how can I physically check for this fault, what to look for ? The automatic gearbox changes smoothly in normal operation, with no clunking during gear changes, though I do know the driveshaft on that side was replaced at some stage with a non original part, so I'm little suspicious it's been fitted with a cheap part and playing up, but I'm not sure how to check for this ! Your experience would be appreciated, as I can't afford to have a garage fix this at the moment !
For me I am wondering when on the car, should the axle have play in and out with a impact noise? How about up and down from CV housing and shaft? Please make video it could help others
My driver side axle on my 98 civic had a clicking when I’d turn and come to a stop weird sound but it was coming from the axle. I also noticed really violent shaking at 60 mph and would stop immediately after I let off the gas but come back on acceleration. Finally when I removed the axle it had a slight click when moved side to side on the inner joint. My replacement was quiet and smooth. Now my car doesn’t have any of the symptoms but I do have a bad diff bearing on the passenger side so that axle is going out too will replace and hope it gives me a little more range so I can manual swap it lol.
Thank you for this video my question is, I have 2022 Camry hybrid. I replaced the front hub bearings, and I stripped both axle threads. My mechanic replaced the passenger axle but the driver he only rethreaded, after picking the car up from him, it started to make single clunking noise only when accelerating and braking, sometimes when turning but like I said only single clunk, do you think the driver axle is damaged either on my repair or the mechanic rethreading while the axles were on the the car? I didn’t have this clunking noise before.
I hear clicking when accelerating on turns when it is very cold outside. If I am easy on the gas it doesn't click. Warmer weather it is ok. 2010 chevy hhr. 53,000 miles. Edit: When I say clicking I mean like click click click click click or tic tic tic tic tic sort of like turning a knob on a timer or something. I wonder if something wrong with ABS or traction control could do that if something is wrong? I had my ABS worked on and also bearings replaced before. What if something was not put back right like a metal ring or clip or something? It's fine now in the warmer weather.
My wife's mini cooper clunks excessively while driving more so on any bumps in the road but also on the flat. I checked the lower control arm bushing. The look feel good. While checking around I put my hand on the 1/2 shaft and gave it a shake. I got the clunking sound. I'm not sure if it's "expected mini behavior" but I hate it. Seems many Mini's have clunks and rattles that people just live with. Not me....
Greetings from NY .what brand of CV full assembly axel front passenger side would you highly recommend as a second affordable choice afterthe expensive dealer charge? Toyota rav4 2008 2.4L
Mines been leaking for who knows how long. Bought it two months ago and didn't realize i bought it that way There's grease all over. There hasn't been any sound other than i just heard a couple of days ago that clicking when going up steep hill. Do you think it might be too far gone or can I just replace the boot and maybe put some grease in there?
There are two types of axle joints used in the CV joint. Inner and outer . Right? It would be nice to know what sound specifically comes from each if there is any way to tell. The clunck probably can come from either. But there must be a slightly different vibration when the inboard joint wobbles because it is wearing out. The rotational havoc going on there should feel somehow closer to the center maybe?. And an outboard CV wear out maybe makes the wheel wobble like crazy at acceleration? Another thing to point out is the "balance" of the shafts as they rotate. I case a vibration mystery presents. Quality there has been compromised. Nothing wrong with the joint. ..yet... The shaft is wacked right out a the bag. But even if you can isolate the culprit they all work as a team on each side and everybody seems to agree replacing individual ends just isn't done very much. For practical reasons. Or not. There is a formula or something involving MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) Supposedly there is a high degree of predictable failure. In a perfect world every CV joint would age the same and if one was starting to go the other would be expected to be going too. As though the two types of joints behaved just like old fashioned headlights. All things considered the wheel side of the CV shaft has to be more abused by the road and the inner one has to be more abused by the engine/road /driver interface AND they both have to rotate. Perhaps they do fail very close to each other. generally. But I wonder which fail first more. In the old days a universal joint was repairable and you greased them. And the rotational mass could be formidable.
I have a '98 Mit Montero Sport 4x4, rear wheel main drive. The front [short] driveshaft and driver side/pass side cv axles turn all the time, whether in 4x4 or in 2 wheel drive [rear]. When i turn left my ears say the clicking/clunking noise is coming from the pass side cv joint. When i turn right i hear no clik/clunk noise. But you're saying it's the opposite.
You just confirmed my suspicion my axle started to click when I turn left so it’s my driver side. But when I drive straight no noise. Bu my boots are all good no leaks?
I have none of these symptoms (yet) but when I am appoaching a STOP sign or traffic lights, when I am slowing down and press my brake between 30 mph and lower, starting at about 30 mph I feel some "vibrating" . them as I approach a complete stop about 15 to 5 mph it stops ... I never did have that problem until after a complete brake change front and back ... my 2nd mechanic says looks like all new parts, and both the brake changer (Firestone) and my regular mechanic say I need to change both need 2 CV axle, boots, and both axle shaft assemblies ... does this sound legit ? they say boot is broken and leaking grease ... I don't trust Firestone (was "emergency" brake change so had to go, but I basically trust my regular mechanic ... hope you still read your comments since this vid is a year old ... thanks !!!
My gas pedal seems stiffer than normal but i can still drive it places, but when i come to a complete stop i hear a loud clunky sound coming from the rear of my car. Any ideas? I use it for Doordash and i d9nt want to work until i know whats wrong.
What if I only get a “clunk” when going slow speeds over a speed bump. Sometimes a small click when I cut the wheel very hard right ? Can the cause also be my strut? Possibly
Hi, ive got a whining sound from front/right side axle, it sounds like the sound a bad wheelbearing makes, but the wheelbearing is new. Can it be that its the supportbearing on the righ driveshaft?...do they whine when worn out? Peugeot 407 SW 2:2 HDI. Thank you.
2017 s550 4matic. I have no noise but doing 35 plus while gas pedal pressed it shakes bad. Let pedal go it stops. Car only has 60k on the dash … your thoughts please ?
I have that problems but often times will come up those sounds while turning and braking, Do I need to put grease first or bring it to the mechanic for new parts? Thanks in advance
thanks! my cars axels looks wise look fine (no torn or bents) but at 45+ my car starts to shake bad but only while on the gas. if i let off it goes away but the second i give it gas the whole front end shakes. it’s a fwd maybe bad axels internally?
Had the same issue on my 2010 Ford Escape. Took it to the service centre and they said the axel shafts need to be changed. The shake is so violent after 80-90kmh.
For YEARS i heard those noises and i knew it was my joints or something with my axles. Anyway. The noise ssemed to just vanish sometimes. I started noticing it would happen more often in the summer. During the winter, I heard lil to No noise and my car still has been running Fine, So i would totally forget about it during the winter months. Any explanation for this? My theory is in the hot summer any Grease or Bearings in the inner workings, If Damaged, are probably all settling to the bottom of the Joint because of the Hot Summer Heat. IDK Plz and Thx. 😊👍
Hi, My car vibrates just sometimes when driving over certain miles especially above 65 miles, I know is not the balance of the tires because then again just sometimes, what could be?
I damaged my cv axle when I pulled a tree to clear the road & it made grinding sounds when I braked. Now the constant velocity of slow speeds and when turning. We ruin the cv axle and know what we did and no one tells you how we ruined it. A little embarrassing to have done that to ourselves and now the costly repair for it.
@@ErockHQ Hard to notice unless you look at the interior side of the rotor. The outer side of the rotor is O.K. BUT crawl under the car a little and look at the rotor from that perspective. If you see the interior vanes of the rotor with all the surface completely broken off, you need to change out your rotor.
I hit the curb sideways, on the passenger side front and rear wheel hit it sideways on a spin out, now feels like something is rubbing when driving, what can it be, I did inspect the front suspension and saw my inner strut rubber joint was damaged. What you think that rubbing could be from
Quick question on my gf car when she turns right it makes a clinking noise but it's on the driver side could that still be a bad CV axle?? I'm just asking cause the way I understand the explanation if she turna right it's the passenger axle that would be bad
My 2008 ford f150 rear wheel drive rear wheel wobbles a lot, ive changed the tires and the brake rotors, it's still happening, I went over a huge curb and this has been happening since, could it be my axle?
How many year/mile do these axles usually last? I don't hear any of noises you mentioned BUT the boots on the axle are torn. Can you just put in new boots or replace the whole axles? thanks.
If you can clean out the grease & pack with new grease. Then you might be lucky with just the boot. You will need a special tool to clamp the ring one the boot if this your first time. 9 years/94K+/driving hard on bad surfaces/north east coast
When I turn right, I hear the clicking come from the left side. Also, it only happens in the winter. Would it still probably be the passenger side axle?
My car feels like the rear end is slipping or something either a hard pop when slowing starting or slow turning. Mechanic says he doesn’t know until it does it worsen
What is causing floating in the rear-end after an accident where it was hit in the rear tire? Passenger side? Light body damage but something is wrong, looks like the wheel is maybe pushed in but not tilted ?
Hello, Help! I'm hoping you can help us. We have this issue with our 6 yr old 2017 M-B Sprinter van 2500 with only 69K miles. It was making the loud noise, that we thought was the wheel bearing that also needs repaired for one wheel and that is why we took to a M-B service center, they've advised us that it needs a new rear axle for a total cost of around $11,000!! I was researching the VIN and it only shows one sale, which was when we purchased it on 9/30/19. I did find a piece of information on a carfax type report that the MB dealership we bought it from purchased this vehicle at auction in 8/2019, this purchase isn't even showing on the report based on the VIN. We're looking at MB to cover this expensive repair because there doesn't seem to be any exterior damage that we may have done to the rear axle, and it seems this should not be happening on a 6 yr old van with 69K miles. If the rear DEF oil wasn't replaced would it cause this issue? We feel the axle must have been defective. In addition, it just seems odd that there is no titling prior to our purchase. It was manufactured in Germany and it only had 5K miles when we purchased it. It would seem that when it was received in the U.S. it would have been titled at that time. Of course, the OPC warranty just expired 4/02/23 and it would have covered the rear axle repair/replacement. The VIN# sticker on the left side of the interior driver seat base shows the in-service date of 9/2019. Can you please share any insight you may have based on my description? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
I hope this is what’s going on with my car it has me worried thinking it’s my transmission because one day it was good the next had little power then the next day I couldn’t accelerate I did experience strong vibrations while driving left and right but replaced my right axle I took my car to a transmission shop I’m hoping and praying they give me good news. This really made me depressed.
I do get vibration when driving about 60+ mph. If I'm driving 70 and let off the gas it will vibrate more and sometimes I will hear a clunking noise. Is that also with the axle?
So a shop told me it was my rack and pinion. My car only clunk when turning left or right at red lights or stop signs. I got vibration and worn tires on the lefted all the time.
I have a 96 Chevy Tahoe and the rear axle sounds like the bearing went out and the shaft is hitting the walls of the axle or the trans case what could that be

This is the visual explanation I’ve been looking for THANK YOU !
I feel and hear all those symptoms in my axle area. Thanks bro.
Awesome thanks brother
Thank you very much. Other people on TH-cam don’t have that lucid mind to explain well like that.
Thank you again
Thanks man saved me the diagnostics free 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
This guy is one of the best hands down👇
Prefect signs for diagnosis. That is what I have in my car and you confirmed my mechanic diagnosis too
Thanks
Great video and to the point. Ford Transit Connect 2017 had a bad engine mount (leaked oil) so I changed all 3 thinking that was cause of vibrations. Then clicking started. I will change axles over holiday. Thx
Amazing. A Pep Boys shop in my area said my F Axle needs repair, yet I notice none of these symptoms when driving 😳😳
Get 2nd opinion at a different shop, coul be early signs of wear
Thank you, very good explanation simple and clear easy to understand even for people don't have any experience about cars👍👍👍 appreciate your time
I just wanted to say thank you again. The time and effort. Using real parts. Having great sound quality. This video was smart and thoughtful. Thank you deeply.
Got mine done 2 days ago. Now my car runs and turns like it's brand new. It was the clicking that made me realize its a CV joint issue.
How much did it cost?
How much?
This is exactly my situation right now. When accelerating from a complete stop I hear that clunky noise also when your left or right …I’m just gonna replace both front axle
I have been dealing with trying to pinpoint these same sounds coming from my lifted Ranger for months now.. That 'ting ting ting' sound is exactly how it started when rolling down the road. It has become progressively worse and grinds and pops when in a tight turn radius, especially in reverse.

And the rotational mass could be formidable.
For the clunking noise when accelerating which axcel needs to be replaced? Driver or passenger?
Nice explanation, thank you
I have a '98 Mit Montero Sport 4x4, rear wheel main drive. The front [short] driveshaft and driver side/pass side cv axles turn all the time, whether in 4x4 or in 2 wheel drive [rear]. When i turn left my ears say the clicking/clunking noise is coming from the pass side cv joint. When i turn right i hear no clik/clunk noise. But you're saying it's the opposite.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for this video.
Can you make video about intermediate bearing in Honda accord 2018-2024
Do you only use OEM axles or other brands like from rockauto? Which do you have good results with?
Rockauto is decent.
You just confirmed my suspicion my axle started to click when I turn left so it’s my driver side.
But when I drive straight no noise.
Bu my boots are all good no leaks?
Sounds like a bad axle
I have none of these symptoms (yet) but when I am appoaching a STOP sign or traffic lights, when I am slowing down and press my brake between 30 mph and lower, starting at about 30 mph I feel some "vibrating" . them as I approach a complete stop about 15 to 5 mph it stops ... I never did have that problem until after a complete brake change front and back ... my 2nd mechanic says looks like all new parts, and both the brake changer (Firestone) and my regular mechanic say I need to change both need 2 CV axle, boots, and both axle shaft assemblies ... does this sound legit ? they say boot is broken and leaking grease ... I don't trust Firestone (was "emergency" brake change so had to go, but I basically trust my regular mechanic ... hope you still read your comments since this vid is a year old ... thanks !!!
Very informative thank you
How about knocking in a straight line. Can they be a warn bucket. My bucket has a lot of play on my Accord
My gas pedal seems stiffer than normal but i can still drive it places, but when i come to a complete stop i hear a loud clunky sound coming from the rear of my car. Any ideas? I use it for Doordash and i d9nt want to work until i know whats wrong.
The only mechanic I trust!
They also can make hissing or rubbing sounds inside the joint because the bearings or race are damaged
What aftermarket brands are good?
will a bad axle cause the car to buck as your driving? or cause the Transmission Lock up Solenoid to overheat?
What if I only get a “clunk” when going slow speeds over a speed bump. Sometimes a small click when I cut the wheel very hard right ? Can the cause also be my strut? Possibly
Hi, ive got a whining sound from front/right side axle, it sounds like the sound a bad wheelbearing makes, but the wheelbearing is new.
Can it be that its the supportbearing on the righ driveshaft?...do they whine when worn out?

Thank you.
2017 s550 4matic. I have no noise but doing 35 plus while gas pedal pressed it shakes bad. Let pedal go it stops. Car only has 60k on the dash … your thoughts please ?
I have that problems but often times will come up those sounds while turning and braking, Do I need to put grease first or bring it to the mechanic for new parts? Thanks in advance
thanks! my cars axels looks wise look fine (no torn or bents) but at 45+ my car starts to shake bad but only while on the gas. if i let off it goes away but the second i give it gas the whole front end shakes. it’s a fwd maybe bad axels internally?
Had the same issue on my 2010 Ford Escape. Took it to the service centre and they said the axel shafts need to be changed. The shake is so violent after 80-90kmh.
For YEARS i heard those noises and i knew it was my joints or something with my axles.
Anyway. The noise ssemed to just vanish sometimes.
I started noticing it would happen more often in the summer.
During the winter, I heard lil to No noise and my car still has been running Fine,
So i would totally forget about it during the winter months.
Any explanation for this?
My theory is in the hot summer any Grease or Bearings in the inner workings, If Damaged, are probably all settling to the bottom of the Joint because of the Hot Summer Heat.
IDK
Plz and Thx. 😊👍
Sounds right to me. Grease the axle bearings and install new dust boot.
Hi,
My car vibrates just sometimes when driving over certain miles especially above 65 miles, I know is not the balance of the tires because then again just sometimes, what could be?
What if you only hear the click once and only occasionally?
What about just one click noise in front wheels when star moving?
So quick question to you my friend if you just change the axle and the car have a small vibration when moving off what can it be
I damaged my cv axle when I pulled a tree to clear the road & it made grinding sounds when I braked. Now the constant velocity of slow speeds and when turning. We ruin the cv axle and know what we did and no one tells you how we ruined it. A little embarrassing to have done that to ourselves and now the costly repair for it.
Did the grinding sound happen everytime you braked? I my brakes grind not not every single time I hit the brake.
@@ErockHQ Hard to notice unless you look at the interior side of the rotor. The outer side of the rotor is O.K. BUT crawl under the car a little and look at the rotor from that perspective. If you see the interior vanes of the rotor with all the surface completely broken off, you need to change out your rotor.
@@wonderfulworld5134 I took my car to a shop and they changed my rotors already and it’s still grinding lol
I hit the curb sideways, on the passenger side front and rear wheel hit it sideways on a spin out, now feels like something is rubbing when driving, what can it be, I did inspect the front suspension and saw my inner strut rubber joint was damaged. What you think that rubbing could be from
Wheel bearings very likely
i just had to get my 2019 Ram front driverside CVAxle replaced kept hearing this clicking and rubbing noise when turning fully to left side
Quick question on my gf car when she turns right it makes a clinking noise but it's on the driver side could that still be a bad CV axle?? I'm just asking cause the way I understand the explanation if she turna right it's the passenger axle that would be bad
My 2008 ford f150 rear wheel drive rear wheel wobbles a lot, ive changed the tires and the brake rotors, it's still happening, I went over a huge curb and this has been happening since, could it be my axle?
How many year/mile do these axles usually last? I don't hear any of noises you mentioned BUT the boots on the axle are torn. Can you just put in new boots or replace the whole axles? thanks.
If you can clean out the grease & pack with new grease. Then you might be lucky with just the boot.
You will need a special tool to clamp the ring one the boot if this your first time.
9 years/94K+/driving hard on bad surfaces/north east coast
When I turn right, I hear the clicking come from the left side. Also, it only happens in the winter. Would it still probably be the passenger side axle?
After firing any of these issues is an alignment required?
Yes
My car feels like the rear end is slipping or something either a hard pop when slowing starting or slow turning. Mechanic says he doesn’t know until it does it worsen
What is causing floating in the rear-end after an accident where it was hit in the rear tire? Passenger side? Light body damage but something is wrong, looks like the wheel is maybe pushed in but not tilted ?
Hello, Help! I'm hoping you can help us. We have this issue with our 6 yr old 2017 M-B Sprinter van 2500 with only 69K miles. It was making the loud noise, that we thought was the wheel bearing that also needs repaired for one wheel and that is why we took to a M-B service center, they've advised us that it needs a new rear axle for a total cost of around $11,000!! I was researching the VIN and it only shows one sale, which was when we purchased it on 9/30/19. I did find a piece of information on a carfax type report that the MB dealership we bought it from purchased this vehicle at auction in 8/2019, this purchase isn't even showing on the report based on the VIN. We're looking at MB to cover this expensive repair because there doesn't seem to be any exterior damage that we may have done to the rear axle, and it seems this should not be happening on a 6 yr old van with 69K miles. If the rear DEF oil wasn't replaced would it cause this issue? We feel the axle must have been defective. In addition, it just seems odd that there is no titling prior to our purchase. It was manufactured in Germany and it only had 5K miles when we purchased it. It would seem that when it was received in the U.S. it would have been titled at that time. Of course, the OPC warranty just expired 4/02/23 and it would have covered the rear axle repair/replacement. The VIN# sticker on the left side of the interior driver seat base shows the in-service date of 9/2019. Can you please share any insight you may have based on my description? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
I hope this is what’s going on with my car it has me worried thinking it’s my transmission because one day it was good the next had little power then the next day I couldn’t accelerate I did experience strong vibrations while driving left and right but replaced my right axle I took my car to a transmission shop I’m hoping and praying they give me good news. This really made me depressed.
I dont have any clicking, i have vibration under acceleration in the right front. Goes away when i let off or keep constant speed. Manual 07 civic ex
I do get vibration when driving about 60+ mph. If I'm driving 70 and let off the gas it will vibrate more and sometimes I will hear a clunking noise. Is that also with the axle?
So a shop told me it was my rack and pinion. My car only clunk when turning left or right at red lights or stop signs. I got vibration and worn tires on the lefted all the time.
Would it make the gas pedal shake at high speed as well?
Is it a good idea to change the wheel bearing to
I have a 96 Chevy Tahoe and the rear axle sounds like the bearing went out and the shaft is hitting the walls of the axle or the trans case what could that be
