knocking sound

Gt98 · January 19th, 2009, 10:13 PM

Hey guys sometimes when i take a right turn at around 15mph i hear the knocking sound from my left hand side. I can't figure what it is please help??

ajm · January 19th, 2009, 10:17 PM

Is the noise continous or kinda like one big thud/bump/knock?

mustangracer2g · January 20th, 2009, 04:30 AM

are you breaking when turning? and yeah what ^ said

Gt98 · January 20th, 2009, 03:37 PM

its continous and i usually don;t break. its a knocking sound that continues all through the turn until i exit. Maybe a rear axle?

ajm · January 20th, 2009, 03:46 PM

Easiest way to determine between the front and rear would probably be to have someone ride with you in the back seat and listen. Then go from there to figure out the problem.

jasons_98gt · January 20th, 2009, 03:46 PM

check your wheel bearings tie rods balljoints? i had a similar problem with a clunking sound sounded like axel noise even had shops tell me it was the rear end dumbasses i had a bad balljoint and wheel bearing on the front passenger side

97S281 · January 20th, 2009, 08:25 PM

ball joint or rear axle bearing would be my guess. Are you getting any grease or an unusual amount of black residue on your rear wheel?

Gt98 · January 24th, 2009, 05:40 AM

No i'm getting no excess grease or any type of gunk for that matter i'm stumped and i don't want to drop money into it and its still not fixed lol

jchr96gt · January 24th, 2009, 11:23 AM

prolly a broken bearing or something..

MustangMatt96GT · January 24th, 2009, 12:20 PM

Sounds like a balljoint to me.

Gt98 · January 25th, 2009, 07:36 PM

dang is a ball joint hard to replace and any guidance would be appreciated lol thank a bunch

Got Ford · January 25th, 2009, 07:45 PM

is the car lowered at all? could be the tire rubbing the wheel well, or a ball joint like they said

jchr96gt · January 26th, 2009, 04:12 PM

its prolly th ball joint

its hard to change them because you have to remove alot just to get to them.but you should change it soon before your axle and alignement screw up

Gt98 · January 26th, 2009, 05:08 PM

no its not riding lower. Thanks guys for all your input i'm going to get it fixed this weekeend
