I'm hearing some hard clicking noises when i take a left turn in my EG. Also it has a faint whining sound when i'm cruising the highway at 70MPH and the car pulls really hard to the right on some occasions. Anyone have this problem before. Oh by the way, the axles are brand new. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Could be a shot axle or wheel bearing, I would check both out. The only way you can tell if a axle is bad is by hearing it so that would be my guess and the noise at highspeeds is prolly the wheel bearing.

 

Wheel bearing on the whining noise The clickin usually is a axle but..if theyre new, i would say take a look at the suspension make sure everything is tight

 

100% its the axle

There is such a thing as getting defective axles, especially when they are remanufactured axles.

The whine is 100% a wheel bearing, but to make sure, when it is whining, cut the wheel back and forth slightly and see if the noise disappears, if so, then that is your guarantee on the wheel bearing.

 

Yes remanufactured half shafts can be defective. I found this out the hard way not long after the warantee ran out. They are still a good deal because compared to new ones they are cheap.

 

pretty sure there the axles..give them a look over along with your wheel bearings!!

 

Would i need a press to take out the bearing?

 

I'd like to know too.

 

Yep, wheel bearings have to be pressed in.

 

axle

 

Make sure everythings tightened good! The idiots who did my alignment "forgot" to tighten a bolt. Also check your axles.

 

definately check axles. check for axle grease on tranny and sub-frame by the boots. clicking + splattered axle grease = bad axle/boot. not sure about whining. best of luck

 

Axles are new and the boots are still good. This is getting weird, it only happens once in a blue moon...

 

def. an axle and possible bearing

 

Most likely the axals. Are they stock rims. my 95 civic was making a lot of clunking noise and it turned out that one of the rims wasn't sitting right on the hub.

 

the clicking and whinning is the axel - spend the money replace it - if its still there its the bearing ! but its already been asnwered

 

It's deffinately the axle. Don't let it run like that for very long or will will break the hub bearing and steering knuckle.

 

If you want a write up on how to replace your bearings lemm eknow Ill whip one up.
