Crazy clicking noises ae101

Postby crazor » Tue Apr 26, 2005 9:31 pm

Hoping in my car after work today(ae101 levin super strut), driving along happily and the odd clicking noise starts up, its not uniform it just happens randomly , like a clicking sound almost, feels like its coming from the right wheel area.

My initial thoughts were something to do with the super struts but saying that the only noise i have eva heard has been a creak wen trying around a left hand corner every now and then, so i wouldnt think that.

Also that part of the car has a big sqeak coming from it wen i go over a judder bar.

The problem has baffled me , im getting the brakes pad and stuff done tomoro so mechanic is gonna have a look round , bout he didnt really have a clue, has anyone here experianced something like this, can you please help me out .
Cheers

Hmm what are the symptoms of the clicking noise? It could well be the inner cv if its making the noise whist driving in a straight line and decelerating etc (as this is a prob with mine atm)

The creaking noise could possibly be your lower s/s arm.

The squeak from the front part of the car is prob swar bar bushes. Ive had mine replaced since ive owned it and they are beginning to squeak. Prob just need lubricating
