Ok, this is going to be vague because I really haven't gotten a chance to get under the car yet and look around, but here goes. Whenever I turn right and only right into my driveway, right as I hit the bump to start going up the ramp I hear this sound like something metal is tapping on something else metal. Its not a horrible sound or ear-piercing, almost sounds like a heatshield, but I know for a fact its not that.

I stopped on top of the bump today (as the ramp starts) and got out and pushed down on the car above the right front tire where the noise seems to be coming from. While i did this i heard the noise again (Tire turned almost all the way to the right).

Some people have suggested it might be a loose strut. I hope not. Any other ideas? Thanks alot!

 

Possible axle?

 

I dunno, I don't think it would be the axle.

 

could start taking that stuff apart and figure it out

 

Did the left front turn also?

I was going to ask also.......is it a grinding sound also?

Put her on a lift and take a peek.....inspect everything.

Edit: Right turn only.....

Give us some info on the susp. and tire size.... pics?

 

if it's a metal to metal rubbing, could be the power steering.

 

CV joint.

 

Lower ball joint.

 

no grinding. and its just the right side. I think it might be a ball joint.

Is my guess ..........this is one of those things that is a lot easier to determine if you could be there

 

how much am i looking at to fix that. assuming it is the problem?

 

Lower ball joint is around $40.00 or so. Not sure on how much a shop would charge for labor.

 

thanks
