Initially I thought it was my axle...I've had 2 people check it out, and tell me my axle is fine and they can't hear the noise I hear. That's the catch, the noise is intermittant, and I hear it mostly when accelerating in turns. Any idea what it could be, the sound is starting to become more persistent.

 

cv joints.

 

cv joints, or strut bearings, could be swaybar link also.

 

I have recently just replaced both sides.. and had the same symptoms!
CV

 

It could be your wheel bearings.

 

This is fun! Strut mounts can make ratteling noises when they come apart. Mine started intermintently and then became more persistant.

 

I have the same problem, i hear it randomly, and it almost sounds like it's inside the cab. Gets worse around 50-70mph on mildly bumpy roads... so you think it could be strut mounts? i was told cv, but it's not a 'clicking' noise.. it's a clank.......clank..

 

take apart you suspension and problem solve. check all bolts and nuts, strut bearings, wheel bearings, etc. also make sure your lugnuts are tightened when youre all finished.

 

I had that exact same problem for years until I lowered my car. I believe mine was in the strut. I had both cv's and axles replaced but still the thud thud sound. Look at your suspension for the problem if you don't think it's the axles.

 

I had recenly changed my axles (used non-oem parts & a private garage) when I started getting the rattle too. I though timing chain tensioner, bad installation, struts, etc and it also went to the dealer twice for a look over. It drove me crazy.

I finally decided to crawl up under it and stay there till I found it ...and I did. A rubber mallet tapping on everything was the key to hearing it while under the car.

On the passenger side drive axle, there was a dust collar on the tranny side of that axle that had come free from its cheap spot welds. This collar was spinning aroud the axle and when I hit bumps at speed, it would wobble around the axle and rattle. A little RTV on the face of it, and all was right with the world again... There may be a similar setup on the driver's side axle. Might be worth a look.

 

mine did that it was the cv joints
