ever since i dumped the ride I've been hearing this click when im accelerating from a complete stop,i.e stop sign,stop lights,it's coming from the engine bay,suspension related but not sure which side or what.i looked at the cv joints and they werent ripped but they're really oily,and its not a clicking noise like if your cv is bad,it's just a single click


can anyone help me out?


EDIT!!

PASSENGER SIDE STRUT TOWER NUTS WERE LOOSE,THANKS PEEPS!!

check axels. or loose bolts if u did a motor swap or suspension change etc.

 

check your lower control arm bushings, mine are gone and it kinda clicks....

 

x2

 

check ur springs that use to hapen to my hatch when i drive sometimes it makes some loud *** noise and finaly when i put coilovers it was fine

 

you know my car did that after i did a swap too..like if you do a U-turn from a complete stop, it'll click..i remember reading on here a while ago, some guys had the same problem..they retightened the bolts oh the axels, suspension, etc., anyways after they did that, it went a way..i have yet to tighten mine..just too lazy, and it don't even bother me anymore ..good luck!

 

might be the inner joint of the axle. i had the same problem and one day it just snapped.

riding "dumped" destroys cv joints quickly....but I want to dump the hatch that I am going to buy

 

have the same problem... and it was after doing the full bushing system

I just replaced the axles, tierods, lower and upper ball joints, wheel bearings, lca bushings, uca bushings. and ditched the front sway bar... still have it

check the expletive out of all the bolts and nuts... i missed the uca bolts and after that it cut the noise down but i still have 1 single click from take off

yup, make sure every bolt is on really good.... the last problem would be motor mounts cause when u take off, it shifts everything back slightly.

Ill be puttin in motor mount inserts shortly and let u know if it fixed it. Also, did u get a wheel alignment after the coilovers?? im gettin one tomorrow cause i did new tierods. i hope that might fix it cause im also dumped on H&R race springs and my wheels are asking to rub...

no ****, the ******* bolts were causein the click... i have the same ******* thing and have replaced everything. WHeel alignment didnt solve anything (other then the toe/camber problem)

Ima go over all the bolts tomorrow before class and see if i have the same thing but awesome you found out the problem
