Clicking sounds from my euro.

[dupac->]

Hi guys, i got an 04 euro.

when i kinda give it a sudden bit of gas (sometimes) i can hear a clicking sound from the left front wheel? or when the car jerks u can hear it too.

pretty much wen i dont drive smoothly it happens.


any ideas?


thanks.

[mars_panas]

I believe is your Cv Joint that's making the sound

[dupac->]

yeah thats what i was thinking too?

gonnna have a look underneath today.. the boot may be fuked

dunnos..

thanks mars

Have you manage to find out what happened?

[dupac->]

nope not yet.

still havent bothered looking under the car.

haha

[I heart the SSS]

Wheel bearing.... could well be Du.

try braking with a bit of force and letting go of the wheel.. if it pulls to one side, it could be a bearing. (make sure it's a flat road)

i've noticedd recently on the euro.. when i down shift heavier it clicks also?

cv's? drive shaft?

havent had a look under just yet but i wouldnt think my eyes could spot anything anyway.

Wheel bearing? CV joint, get it checked out Br@@@@@
As justin said.

Does it happen when you drive from cold start or when it's been warmed up or just all the time?

[dupac->]

cold or warm it doesnt matter :(

[aaronng]

Have you checked the CV joints yet?

[dupac->]

nope lol....

what i think it might be..

a cracked cv boot, with the grease comin out. and it just needs to be replenished with a new cv boot.

but when im bothered ill check. coz i dont drive that one much.


what what else would i be looking out for under the car? how do i know if a cv joint is fukced without taking it to the mechanic?

Remember to clean the joint before repacking it!

With the car in the air check for freeplay in the wheel by trying to tilt it (pushing on the top, pulling on the bottom and vice versa in quick succession). Bearing failures can cause freeplay.

Also check for freeplay in the driveshaft by trying to wiggle it.

It's a good chance to lube up any key areas too!

Turn the car on full lock slowly, left and right. Listen for a clicking noise. This is often a good indication that CVs are gone.

i think i have a CV joint problem, took it to a honda dealer to check out and they didnt find anything, waste of money.

Any of your symptoms like these in the first post?

yeah i know, ive tried that.. accelerating whiel turning aswell.. no sound.

straight line under acceleration will make a click. but just one click until the next jerk.

Might not be CV. Could be a driveshaft problem....

[hughba]

As a first port of call I'd check for freeplay in the driveshaft.

Do the drive shafts in the Euro have expansion sections with a spline/yolk arrangement? If so, these can slip, especially when they get grit in them or lose lube...

[|nick|]

Just got a call from my mechanic, the problem for my car was a busted engine mount (no idea how that could have happenned) and also my front right brake pad was loose.

*none of these fixed it, but the sound now comes and goes. will get it checked again.
