Yea me to I drove my car for a little over 5 years hearing that noise and it just broke last week ! Never knew what the noise was or where was coming from 😅
Not the drive shaft. It’s your axel. If it were the drive shaft you would get a loud clinking noise when (usually) downshifting or going from park into reverse. You would have hard shifting if not driven delicately. This is cause by a bad U joint (part of the drive shaft). And a much more costly repair.
This hitting iron, am feeling to my etious, can you post the part here for us to see exactly what needs to be replaced , please it's bothering me so much.
Man my car was making that same noise for like 5 years and I thought it was something minor lol but just last week it broke in the driveway the front cv axel !
They are not called CV axles. It’s a drive shaft. All front wheel drive driveshaft’s have an inner and outer CV joint. One end goes into the transaxle and the other end runs through the wheel hub assembly.
Sorry but what ur describing is a CV axle not a drive shaft. Drive shaft use universal joints to connect to eachother while cv axles use cv joints. Front wheel drive vehicle that utilizes transaxles to convert torque into motion have CV axles.
First off it's not a drive shaft it's called a CV axle,can get the whole thing for like 70 to $90 it is a bit of work to install though best to have a mechanic do it if you're not very mechanically inclined
Did you ever figure out the issue? I never had any issues than told my cv axle needed replaced. Once it was replaced it began doing this exact sound when I turn or excel from a red light or going up a hill. I've now replaced it 3 times and its still making this sound.
hi, I have an Audi A3 2005 1.9, I hear a "cla cla" when I release the accelerator pedal, the joints are new, the ones on the gearbox side are also new, what can I check?
What about a similar noise only when light acceleration between 20 to 25 mph. Noise stops when accelerating harder, and when braking with both brakes and/or engine?
Yeah I have a similar issue where if I accelerate to the left it kinda vibrates/rattles for maybe .5 seconds. That's it. Slow acceleration makes no noise. Boot looks good. Car is old with 160k on it though.
My explorer started making a similar sound to this when I’m turning right, just not as bad. I replaced both cv axles but it’s still doing it. It’s starting to annoy the shit out of me
