Cv Joint Noise While Driving
Replaced wheel bearings (both sides), cv joint, driveshaft centre bearing, then the whole o/s driveshaft.
Cv joint noise while driving. Noise mainly happens when i make left handed turns. This is the point where the front and rear axels join with the tires. But the noise doesn't happen when i'm on the brakes making a left hand turn.
Clicking or popping sounds may be indicative of a bad outer joint. But if you have just one bad cv joint, it could potentially cause your vehicle to bounce while it is in motion. Depending on the seriousness of the joint’s condition, you may need to replace the whole shaft assembly in addition to replacing the cv joint.
Usually the noise gets louder when accelerating in turns. This noise will lesson when banking left or right. A screeching sound when you turn corners, even slowly.
The noise can be compared to the sound of a kid running along a stockade fence with a stick rubbing against it. This is when you will hear strange noises like ratting and scraping. If the axle uses a type of boot clamp that has a little bit of weight to it and the boot clamp loosens or breaks, this additional weight can affect the balance of the cv axle.
If so, it likely means the cv joint is bad. If the bearing noise is constant regardless of acceleration or deceleration and is approximately three times wheel speed in frequency, the faulty bearing would generally be found on the transmission output shaft or the driveshaft intermediate support bearing. If the cv joint gets louder or quieter or noticeably changes in pitch while turning in either direction, then you have a bad outer joint.
If your car gives out loud tire noise at highway then there could be two main reasons for it. I have checked the brake pads and rotors and replaced them even though they didn't need it, still doing it. Excessive vibrations while driving is another symptom of a bad cv axle.
