There is a left front end noise during take off and hard acceleration, its almost a scratching/clunking noise. Mainly from the drivers side.

one thing i noticed was there is not a bearing or a support midway down the cv shaft not sure if that's how it was designed

Upper and lower control arm's were replaced, tie rod looks good, lower ball joint looks good.

also the thing wheel hops like crazy which might be the motor mounts. and the car also shakes pretty bad might be the wheels and tires.


Thanks

 

For D series, yes that is how it was designed.

Looks good? Check for play.

Do you beat on this thing a lot?

 

i have this same problem. im pretty sure it is the wheel bearing, but not 100 percent ima be changing mine in a few days so if you dont have it fixed ill let you know it that was it

 

It has oversize rims and the previous owner did not take the greatest care of it.

the tie rod was allegedly changed by cole when i got new tires, it looks rusty so i doubt it. they also said it needed trailing arm bushings, and the bolts in the rear lower control arms for the springs were broke.

when i changed the control arms the lower ball joint looked crazy hard to remove so i just replaced the boot. no play in the wheel for the ball joint.

 

i was wondering about the wheel bearing, or something with the steering as it torque steers a little, maybe even the struts.

 

well i have her all apart currently doing a mini-me swap, and the driver side motor mount had about a inch of play rotation wise, most of the rubber was not even connected. hoping this is it what the problem is.
