if my car sounds like a woodpecker the faster i go is this my cv joints or does the problem lie elseware?

 

need more info. it can be anything, you're too vague in your question

 

have you checked the boots?

 

no i just noticed it today all of a sudden when i got going 30mph it started going *thud* *thud* and would get faster with MPH and when i was going 60 it was was faster but i noticed that if i push the gas it got louder and if i let off softer (it's not the engine i'm 100% sure) so load and speed have someting to do with it

also brake pedal not pulsing

 

could be something on the shafts, could be transmission. with out more info, like does it go away when you turn? or how bout if you coast with the clutch in?

 

no kind of a different clicking noise when turning and it's an auto but i'll try putting it in N tomarrow to see if it goes away

sounds like a wheel bearing, they're known to fail in a instance instead of gradually like other parts. that's how my car sounded like when I went faster then 40 mph. expect to pay $80-$120 for a wheel bearing repair since you will need a hydro press to put the bearing into the wheel hub. but also check you tires(both inner and outer side) for any abnormal blisters or bumps on them that could be another factor.

 

ok the tires shouldn't be the problem cuz i just got them like a week ago, but how would i check the bearing and would if's noise change with speed and load?

 

Maybe your lugnuts came loose since you got your new tires?

Wheel bearing noise should go away if you make turns and come back when you drive straight. You can jack the car up and check for play. just try to wiggle the wheel back and forth, one hand on top and the other on bottom. it shouldnt budge at all.
