annoying clunking noise when i turn.

rauscher89lx · November 7th, 2010, 02:59 PM

alright well im just starting to notice an annoying noise that i should probably get fixed before something worse happens... when i turn to go around a jug handle, or even turn at an intersection, in particular when i turn right, it makes a clunk, click like noise just one time... and when i backup, and turn the wheel all the way to the right, it just straight clunkclunkclunkclunk, and sounds like somethings going to fall apart... any ideas? thanks!

pacopatron · November 7th, 2010, 04:27 PM

Yea, maybe ball joint. Jack it up and make sure there is no anything in there too.

This is your oppurtunity to buy something better.

haha, but i like my lx. ive wanted one ever since i was a kid when i hopped in my uncles when i was 9. it felt amazing, 12 years later, i pick one up. i love it, but i'm afraid you may be right, im honestly thinking about either selling it and picking up a 11' 5.0, or riding it out and saving for a 11' cobra ...

Your missing my point! Not a better car, better parts for the car... ROFLMAO

Fox bodies are the best, I own 2. If you want an 11 5.0 buy it, but keep the Fox

lmao i gotcha, dont worry i wasnt letting someone else decide on what im doing with the car haha..

flyin ryan · November 7th, 2010, 11:05 PM

it's either your ball joint or swaybar end link or bushing. If it's the ball joint replace it with a decent one like moog

thrasher! · November 7th, 2010, 11:26 PM

It could also be a cracked boot .... I have one right now and when i turn it makes like a low click click noise.. sometiems if all the oil drains out you have to get it reaxeled.

i wasnt aware that the fox bodys were front wheel drive, lol. sounds like a ball joint (since no one else has mentioned that!)

thrasher! · November 8th, 2010, 11:51 AM

ah lol ........ see i drive a tercel ... which is def front wheel drive .. .and i have been so worried about mine i had it on my mind .. but if your fox just so happens to be front wheel drive then its prob your boot ......... if not then id go with ball joint ........

ajr1230 · November 9th, 2010, 06:56 PM

would the problem also be the same if the noise isnt coming from when im turing but when im backing up and hit the brakes, as to shift the load to the back, i hear clunking noises from both sides up front......... only when braking backwards.....

ryanw · November 9th, 2010, 07:02 PM

I have this same problem. it makes one or two clicks when you max out your stearing. i just replace my front sway bar bushings and sway bar end links and no change

ajr1230 · November 12th, 2010, 07:47 PM
