clicking/ticking/thump sounds

Post by drift »

Thinking my front main bearings is going out. Noticed when I go forward then into reverse. Ill hear a click and thump noise that sound like its coming from the front passenger wheel. Also, I hear a thump every now and then coming from the rear end when im on a stop light and starting to go. Anyone know whats the deal or has had this problem or know of these problems

I had this issue before too, the front was the wheel bearing, the rear was one of the 4 link bolts was loose(I blame it on dailying with a spool) and the bushing on the panhard being worn... hope this gives you a starting point

stuff comes loose sometimes (especially if you drive hard), I had a front end clunk the other day that was due to two bolts coming loose on bottom of strut. Get it in the air and shake it down.
There are no spare parts, only unfinished projects.

thanks for the input guys. been working a lot of OT so i can get enough money to spend on replacing a few parts(mainly the wheel bearings but gonna take a look at that rear end also while im at it) but ill difinitly do a double take on all the nuts and bolts.
