ahardb0dy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 When I make a turn I hear clicking noises coming from the front of the truck (94 Pathfinder), I have checked everything on each side of the truck and do not see any play in anything, could this noise be the compression rod moving slightly possibly due to worn out bushings or the sleeve? I have pried on the compression rod and it doesn't move at all but was thinking today on the way home that I never checked the compression rod for forward and back movement. The noise I am asking about is not the steering stops, I hear this noise even when not making full lock turns. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I had the same issues and the bushings were the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Are you referring to the compression rod bushings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Compression rod?.... translating to english is a problem now We just call it rod brushings... I don't know "compression rod"... it could be it, next to the tires and brakes. Didn't help, did I? Edited December 7, 2010 by teixeira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 The CV axles won't make any noise unless the 4wheel drive is engaged and the axles are spinning. There could be a chance that an auto hub is stuck engaged and turning an axle. CVs do click, when rotating and the steering is turned, if they're bad.

ahardb0dy Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 No auto hubs anymore, I found a set of Warn manuals at the junk yard and they are on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
