vengeful Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Does it only happen when the vehicle is in motion? Or does it happen when you're at a stop as well? Has your alignment recently come out of spec? Is it a single clunk, or a repetitive clicking? If it is a repetitive clicking, it may very well be a torn CV boot. A list of possible causes, others can probably chime in more or eliminate a few: Loose lug nuts (I had this problem once.) Torn or missing CV boot. Worn or dead Tie Rod Ends or broken tie rod. Worn out or dead suspension or sway bar bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96pfinderSE Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well it happens more than once when im ussually stoped. It hasnt rescently made any of the noises. It clunks a few times while turning the wheel. It was just weird because its only the right wheel. The suspension is dead im pretty sure because the front right strut squeeks like hell and front end knock when i hit a bump. Im hopin to get a lift soon or just new struts and shocks. I will check out the cv joints and the tie rod havnt had the chance to with all this nasty weather. I also so know the front end is out of line because it pulls to the right pretty bad. I talked to you vengeful on aim. My screen name is kingloser151. Im pretty sure it was u. If u can answer me back with all of the ?s i answered. :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SE Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 clunking could indicate a bad strut and/or strut mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 The clunking sounds just like CV problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herm Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 could be as simple as a sway bar link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
