Punkfinder Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 93 SE-V6 w/ 4-wheel disc brakes here. After having my truck sitting for a week (not sure if that had something to do with it), I've noticed an occasional crunching noise coming from the rear end of my Pathy. I only hear when just moving forward from a stop and it seems to occur for a short period during each rear wheel rotation. I usually hear it for 3-4 rotations of the wheels then it disappears; and I don't think it's still there after speeding up because I can also feel the crunching as a slight vibration from the rear, and that disappears as well. It only occurs intermittently; I don't hear it every time I pull away from a stop, maybe only once every 3-4 times I pull away. I took it to a tranny shop because I thought it was maybe a cracking U-joint, rear diff. problem, or maybe the rear axle; they took it for a few spins but also said it occurred so infrequently that they couldn't nail down the source of the noise or see a problem, although they did hear it. Any ideas? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Maybe check the rear brakes? I know when mine sat for 2 weeks the rear brakes made some real nasty noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 could it be sqeaky struts/shocks or something of that nature? also check your brakes like he said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkfinder Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks for the posts. I could have sworn the noises were coming from the back...installed some Warn hubs tonight and noise is gone, no more crunching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
