Been occuring for almost a month now, Gentle or aggresive driving (accel/brake) + right turns seem to cause a "crack" or knock sound -> (eg. turn right as you exit the turn *crack* u counter steer *crack*)
Engine mounts r still shining pretty, engine does not have accesive movement, tie rods ends make no noise when cranking the wheel while stationary. More suggestions Please, as well as how to test your theory! |

check wheel bearings as well but sounds like an axle.
to check your wheel bearings/hub's, jack the car up and take the tire at the top and bottom and push/pull on it...it should not move or make any weird noises, if it moves even a little bit you need new wheel bearings...do it side to side and top to bottom or in/out --------------------  I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |
