Hey all. Don't know if this is the correct form for this topic but when i do sharp turns like a 90 Degree turn i hear noise's coming from the front wheels. Does anyone have this same issue? Just woundering if anyone can help me find the problem. Thanks in advanced [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

congratulations, you officially need a new cv joint!<BR>thats the most common thing that happens which makes that noise, it sounds like some clicking sound eh!<P>anywhoz<BR>latez

i've had a problem with noise while turning, but its always when im paralell parking, and its more of a groaning noise. ...? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

yeah its your cv joint, i have the same prob, im not sure how much it costs to get fixed but i think its more or a ticking noise.

100 bucks each side, brand new, not refurbished as long as you turn the old one in. The one you get is new not a refurbished one which someone else has turned in.<BR>and that price included 30 mins of labour to change it.<P>latez

yeah, see i have the prob on both sides so it looks like 200$ for me, not sure if its one to over look, as soon as i pay off my speeding ticket for $250 i got on westin road on friday (thanks to DVH, lol) i will be getting that fixed forsure, and its good to see that your ok, kev, missed hearing eh all the time, lol

hey dude!<BR>why dont ya take it to some ticket fighter you know, i dunno anyone in hamilton to help you, but god knows how many tickets i got in the 10 month experience in driving, i had a 160 in a 100 in QEW in stoney creek, 180 in a 60 in donmills, a racing ticket, careless driving ticket! and god knows how many others for insurance and other crap. he won em all, and i paid only 450 bucks to him for his job!<BR>its worth a shot, even if they dont win it there is a chance they can reduce the charges eh!<P>sooo good luckz eh! and hey post some pics of your car man,,<P>latez

Damn the CV joint....I just replaced both my CV boots last week for 300 dollars. there goes another hundred if that's the problem.

Yeah, I had my cv joints replaced recently. However, they still make that nasty noise.

I don't believe those PS pumps are cheap to replace!<P>I've recently started to get a clicking noise, but it's not like the typical CV joint "clicks". This noise is similar, but it only starts AFTER I've already turned the wheel and right before I get the wheel back straight. The closer to straight it gets, the louder the clicking. It even happens on not so sharp turns or curves. Once the wheel is straight though, it doesn't happen. I've never had CV problems in my MX-3, but this problem seems different then in all my previous vehicles.<P>Does anybody know of anything that would cause these symptoms other than CV joints?<p>[ November 26, 2002: Message edited by: voltaire ]

Mine doesn't click...but i had it on the lift the other day and noticed that the left outer cv boot was split, i'm gonna replace the joint anyway, but i don't even have a clicking noise, i only hear a loud rubbing noise when i turn sharp left. There is nothing rubbing that i can see, so i hope that the joint is the problem!
