Clunking Noise when turning Right
Sunday, July 30, 2006 6:49 PM
hey guys.. I had this problem for a while now and can't figure out what it could be.. When i'm driving the car is fine when i turn to the right i can here something clunking like something rotating and making a noise.. I replaced to of my wheel bearing's and my CV Joints on both sides. I don't understand why it's only making the noise when i turn right. anyways what do you guys think it could be thanks...

Probably time to have a professional look at it and actually diagnose the problem, then decide if it's something to fix yourself or pay to have it done.

I say this because with replacing both shafts and hub assemblies, you've already thrown a lot of money at this issue blindly with no apparent luck. The noise you describe is typical of a CV shaft deteriorating, so you were guessing logically, at least. There are many other things, however, that can cause noises, and continuing to throw new parts on randomly will typically drain your wallet before fixing it, unless you get lucky.

Start with inspecting motor mounts, strut mounts, steering linkage, and exhaust components.
Recheck the new hubs and shafts, too.

Good Luck.

I would take a look at youre upper and lower mounts for movement, That should narrow down youre troubles.
