chr15_7_t_ Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 why dosnt it clunk round corners when i have the clutch in thoug?:S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 dunno might be because you have took load off the driveshaft? might be gear box but clunking noise usually cv joint worn if its cv joint the clunckin will get worse the more you drive it and will be noiser the tighter the corner/faster you travel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Doesn't need to have play in the shaft bud for the cv joint to be not great.One of mine was knocking, and when I pulled it apart, all looked fine just when moving it about at certain points it sounded rough. And there was plenty of grease in there by the look of it as well.Dinna break it, shame to see the work and money not getting enjoyed by yourself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 If it's when you turn right it's the left shaft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 My car does the same noise, its the CV joints. under accelaration while turning you can hear, gets louder with sharper turns or more acceleration, happened after doing drifts in the snow for about 3 hours.

chr15_7_t_ Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 how can i check this?how much new cv's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawsy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 how can i check this?how much new cv's?Well i would say the best way is by driving it, if the CV joint is making a heavy knocking noise when loading it up i.e going round a corner then its going to be that joint. Also you will be able to tell when you have taken it out of the hub, because when you wiggle it around it will feel like its grinding and knotchy if that make sense? Or even by jacking the car up and spinning the wheel freely you may be able to hear it, depends how bad its got?Not sure how much new CV joint are for starlets, but shouldnt be to expensive i shouldnt think, its when you have to buy the shafts as well you break the bank. Sorry aint very good at explanations via text lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Put it in reverse when going back it should grind/make a noise.....i think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chr15_7_t_ Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 i had the car jacked up and it wasnt doing it...only seems to be when its on load? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 If you can get the shaft off, when you give the outer cv a test, you'll hear a clonk/knocking like noise. Just got to remember when the cars weight on it and it's getting power it would be amplified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
