Hello, someone pulled out on me the other day and i had to break VERY HARD, snaking everywhere, had the backend right out at one point but i didnt hit anything
now at speed 40+ theres a knocking noise comming from my car, and i can feel it on my arse and on the wheel ive had a look at the break pads, has anyone else got any ideas? the knocking gets faster with speed This post has been edited by DanTheMan: Nov 21, 2007 - 1:48 PM |

Could it be your axles?

No you won't nessecarily bend an axle. You can easily bust them up doing stuff like that. I didn;t see this pile of snow in the middle of the road (dark out) and my axle ripped out.
Try turning left and right while going slow what ever side you here knocking thats the one with a problem. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

and thats a perfect example of why you keep the celica's speedo in the double, not tripple digits* you may be able to

Examples: *itches putting on makeup wile driveing next to you and swirving in your lane old f*cks in buicks that go 53 in the fast lane with a speedlimit of 70 sleepy truckers that dont stop to sleep, out of greed for more money theres also cops that would love nothing more that to write you a $250+ ticket -------------------- poopra sellout... 88targa, 50trim ct, 383lsd, and shreadin tires like its my job!!!

tell me about it, im never speeding like that again
ive just come back from another run trying to find out what the problem is. Its very hard to tell because my ride is so HARD that you feel any bump in the road seems to only happen when doing more than 70, but i still cannot tell if its the road or my car normally! i hope to god i have flatspotted my tires, and that it isnt a problem with the axel, im going to get it professionally look at tomorrow |

raise your car and see if your axle is bent, you can more or less see... and then look at tires...

The axles don't have to be bent. to make clunks. It could be a cv joint. But if that needs replacing you might as well replace the entire axle.

flat spotting is a good possibility
but FYI if the problem is coming from the REAR we DON'T have axles back there (you know FWD lol) only have control arms in the back

If you locked the tires then you could have flat spotted them, but you could also have spun a tire on the rim, making it out of balance. If you find nothing visibly bent I would try rotoating tires and see if you can make the vibration change location.

For future reference: Here on 6gc driving at that rate of speed and not being on a track of some sort is frowned upon. -------------------- Sorry, no animated sigs allowed.
