Why is the rear of my car knocking?
If you hear a knock or other odd sounds coming from below, the culprit is usually one of three parts of your system – your tie bar, ball joints or sway bar. All three of these can wear out with enough use, which could lead to some serious issues including total loss of steering control.
How can you tell if your rear end is going out?
Typically, when the gears wear out — or the bearings fail — the differential will start to howl. You’ll hear something that sounds like a deep whistling sound that goes up and down in pitch as you go faster and slower. Sometimes it’ll go away when you step on the gas.
What causes knocking from passenger side rear suspension?
Often ARB ball joints can make a bit of a noise and soldier on for ages, cheap and easy to replace. A while ago a mate picked me up in an old Passat, complained of a knocking, peered under the car and the rear suspension arm had separated from the chassis.
What does it mean when your differential is making a noise?
While there is no help for our singing, we can help you diagnose the sounds coming from a differential gone bad. A clunk, whine, or howl can signal a worn-out pinion gear, bad bearings, or a faulty gear installation. Sometimes, the noise is not differential-related, but is caused by other driveline or axle components.
Why is my Silverado making a clunking noise?
Took it to a local dealer and the diagnosis was, ” a lot of them do that”, said the e clip on the rear axle is hitting the spacer and that is making the noise. I say, BS, that is not acceptable, take it apart and reshim it.
Why do I hear clunking in my rear suspension?
Had the right rear shackle replaced due to rot but I think there are other components causing the noises I’m hearing now. Could be the remaining shackle bushings. I just don’t know and neither does my regular mechanic.
