So, after sitting in traffic for almost an hour, i notice that there are some weird noises coming from my passenger wheel. At first it sounds like maybe a loose lugnut or something, and as i get closer to home the noise gets progressivley worse and severe. The noise is really bad when i go over a bump, or sometimes when i turn right, and the steering wheel shakes a lot.

As soon as i got home i checked it out with a friend, i had painted the calipers the day before (shut up), everything was fine, or at least it seemed that way. everything was tightened and normal, save for the metal part (sorry cant think of name) that goes on the brake pad, to let you know when it is wearing down. It was bent out of place a little bit (dunno how that happened), but I bent it back into place and put it back on the car.

We drove around and things seemed fine. My friend was convinced that this was just shock knock, but i know it is something more severe.

Anyways, i am still getting this problem today. The steering wheel has been shaky at times ever since i began driving my car again daily starting this week. The passenger side suspension is making scary noises and i dont know where to begin.


does this seem like it might be something along the lines of axles/cv boots? sorry, im really new at this stuff and im just trying to learn. I know its hard to diagnose the problem but if someone could get me started on the right track i would appreciate it.


thanks guys =]

 

bump

 

I have a very similar problem, but coming from the driver's side.

I have checked the ball joints, all the control arm bolts, caliper , tie-rod end , everything is perfect. Haven't figured yet what it could be, so I too wanna know what people have to say.

 

yeah, everything is on tight, visually everything looks solid but the sounds coming from the passenger side scare me

if anyone could chime in with a place to start i would really appreciate it, thx
