Clicking Noise While Turning
(Supersedes 91-029, dated November 1, 1991)
SYMPTOM
A clicking noise is heard while making right or left turns at 10 mph or less.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Worn outboard driveshaft joint.
DIAGNOSIS
(Driving method)
1.
Drive the car in a circle in an open parking lot at approximately 10 mph with the brakes slightly applied.
2.
Have an assistant stand in the center of the circle and listen for the clicking noise.
3.
Drive the car in the opposite direction. The assistant should be able to tell which axle is making the noise.
(On-hoist method)
1.
Raise the car on a hoist and start the engine.
2.
With the transmission in first gear (manual transmission) or D4 (automatic transmission), increase the engine speed to 2000 rpm.
3.
Apply the brakes to load the engine speed to 1500 rpm while maintaining the same throttle position.
4.
Turn the wheels slowly to full left and full right positions. Have an assistant listen to determine which axle is making the noise.
NOTE:
A driveshaft with a light degree of noise may not be detected by this on-hoist method.
