Hello,

For the past couple of months, I've noticed a rattling sound when I would make a strong left turn. Now, this rattling sound has gotten louder, more of like a grinding/crunching, and it does it when I turn both directions.

The odd thing is that when I straighten up, the sound goes away. I'm new to the community I'm in now, so I'm going to have to find a mechanic to have a look at it, unless this sounds really obvious to someone and is something I can fix.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

 

Sounds like CV-Joints to me, if it is the CV-Joints then if you have no mechanical knowledge then take it to a mechanic to fix.

 

Does it sound like clicking? It's probably your cv joints as previously stated. It's not hard to replace them your self as long as you have a breaker bar to get of the axle nut. Gl

 

Thanks so much. I love this forum.

It's the CV joint. The part will be in tomorrow.

 

Dude your axel is not really hard to replace if you have no knowledge on this do your self a favor and buy chilton's book or go to Ebay and buy the cd for 5 bucks.

 

If you need help with this let me know I have replaced my axel. One thing If I were you I would buy it brand new from Auto zone because it is life time warranty.

 

I think I'm going to give it a shot myself. I'm somewhat handy, and after watching a youtube video on the repair, I'm thinking it's not that big of deal.
