Very loud CliCking noise when turning right & left HELP URGENT :(

[(NAS) starlet ep82]

Hi guys

My last issue with the car is that -

I have a LOUD clicking/clunk noise from when turning right & left in full lock

Just to give u an idea Sounds abit like the wheels are scraping on plastic arch liners BUT its not

I know it sounds like cv joints but i've changed the driverside cv joint but still the same noise in full lock both sides

Absolutely puzzles to what it can be

Had the both drive shafts out today & inspected them & thre all fine

What can it possible be ? :-/

Car was fine before tuck off road 1 year ago since then had engine & suspension out n refitted it all recently

Only other think i know it needs tracking too as fittef track rod ends etc

Are your springs seated correctly?

[akyakapotter]

i know you said you have checked the drive shafts but have you checked the cv joints. Sound you are describing sound to me like the cv joints have had there day.

cheers nick

Hi

Cv joints one is brand new fitted last week & the other is 1 year old

Had the shafts out today to inspect & thre all perfectly fine

Car was spot on before it went off road 1 year ago & since then been on axle stands removed engine etc

& i have BC coilovers so springs are seated proply

Been on it all day today but still same problem when full locking

Had the track rod ends changed so tracking is out too n tht about it

[yaristurbo]

how old are the bc's top bearings?

nothings catching with it beeing low?

brake disc back plate when bearings got weight load on it?

stone in caliper?

Have ou got access to a pit? or a set of ramps you could drive the car up and get under neath? Or even a really high kerb then just hang off various components until the sounds replicated.

Coilovers are only a year old its defo not from the suspension side of things

It only does it on quick turns & full lock

Dont want to order another CV joint & find out its not that again as replaced the driver side joint last week

Plus i had the shafts out last night & inspected them & the cv joints

Front brake disc heat shields are removed off the car because we thought it was only tha but NO

Reli neee to get this sorted now as this is the only last issue left on the car till it finally comes out to play after a year

I had a really bad 'Clicking' when on full lock both way's, replaced both cv joints and solved my problem.

Yeaah i've changed the driverside one but left hand side clunk has always been there because of my cusco LSD

Just not sure what to do or where to start with it today

Its a shame tho as its only last issue before its proply on the road

Anyone else know what it can be ?

Perhaps replace the other cv joint?

Yeaah thts the next thing to do replace other joint too BUT thts only a year old & the noise us fr both sides when turning full lock the more i turn the more louder it gets :'(

Hate the car & confused as to what it can possibly be ite strange

[1991 starlet owner]

Mmmm.. I would just mentally break it all down. Think about everything it could be, and then think outside the box too. However confused you are remember that something is wrong. There's a component somewhere that's not ringing true.

Thomas Edison tried and tested over 200 ways to create the incandescent light bulb fillamant. And when asked about his failure he replied:

I didn't fail, I found out over 200 ways how not to create a lightbulb. I only have to find one way to make it work.

Don't loose faith buddy!
