the clicking noise is your wheel bearing, tie rods worn out or lose. the scraping humm no idea.

 

r u sure?? the other guy told me it was my cv cage, i know both can be culprits but i dont want to buy something i dont need.

 

Could it be your CV or Axle?? If the noise occured when you making turns--then cv and axle might be it!!
Does it sound like your tires rubbing the fender wall??

 

i never thought of that sound being the tire rubbing, but yea, im checking that out tommorow when i get the car up in the air

thanks for everyones repsonses so far

Did you lowered you ride height?? or does it still rides on stock suspension??
oh.. when you put your car on the jackstand, you can't tell if you tires are rubbing... because the wheel will drop down and hanging on the control arm.

 

its stock height, i can always check for parts inside the wheel wells were it rubs

 

If it's stock highth then it shouldn't be rubbing in the wheel wells. If you've got busted bearing or bad cv's the rubbing sound could be your bushings being pushed out when you turn.

 

It might be your springs, if you lived in a snowing state your springs may rusted and break. Therefore creating the clicking or rubbing noise***check for that

 

I am thinking the clicking noise is from busted bushings (had the same clicking noise before Prothane).

as far as scraping, place your car on some chockes in the back then jack the car up from two spots fro your regular place right behind the wheel then at your lower front LCA to a point where the wheel is the only thing going up and not the car. This will give the car an affect of stress on that right side suspension.

Then slowly get the car out of any gear its in to neutral. Get back to the wheel and try to turn it while the jack is under the front lca. see where it scraps.

 

car has never been driven in snowy conditions, but yea, sumthing is def going wrong underneath there, and im gonna figure it out whatever it is, hopefully, ive already negotiated with sumeone to buy their axles, 50$ for both good condition.

are there any signs i should look into on the axles themsleves when i get the rims off tommorow?? other then a broken boot??

why buy used axels with no warrenty when you can go to Adavance auto parts and get a new axel with Life time warrenty for around $74-$90.

just my thinking. I have busted axels before and they took it straight back no questions asked and got me new a one with no core or any other hidden price.

 

im buying them from a reputable person i know, plus im getting a swap soon , i justy dont want to be stuck on the side of the road until then.
