Well, I seem to be good at getting these weird noises. Anyways, I Just had my front right drive axle replaced and a week goes by and now I have this clicking noise beneath me. Could be the trans, or my left drive axle or something else, i dont really know. I can hear the click every so often. Its not all the time, its more like here and there, i dont know what it is. Anyones else run into this problem or have one like this?

are you lowered?

if so, quite possible it is the strut mount and bearing that is shot

yes i am lowered on stock struts. I have H&R that love to make creaking noises. I dont know if it is my suspension that is making this noise that i am talking about but it might be. How could i find out if it is?

check for any movement of the top strut nut on the pillar in the engine bay--this would signify bad mounts

check for any play in the wheel when the car is jacked up; this would be more wheel bearing related

make sure the spring looks like it is seated correctly on the struts


and if none of those work, remove the strut assembly and compress the spring then look for any damaged parts.....mount/bearing/noise isolator

Is the creaking noise I hear bad? Or is it just the spring itself? I have heard of people wraping the spring so the noise isnt bad.
