Strange 'CLUNK' noise in front right wheel?
 
I have this strange noise comming from right wheel but the kicker is I can only here it when it rains! I was thinking its a wheel bearing or ball joint.

you hit a bump you hear the clunk or if you jerk the wheel hard left you can also hear it.

But once again this is only when it rains ......any other time its cool.


Any ideas

Thanks in advance

Try lubricating the front right sway-bar bushings (te ones that mount the sway bar to the chassis itself- with Vaseline.....jack the front right up and use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to get it in there liberally.......then tell me if if clunks.

but why would it do it only when it rains?

Mine makes the same noise I have it in the shop today they said it's my wheel bearing also that my strut that's leaking. First I could only hear it once in a while then it became more frequent! I guess I will see when I pick it up if the noise was fixed by replacing the bearing... I am having my illumina 5 ways installed and springs... oh and the dang bearing! So I will let ya know what they say!

well I just replaced my struts this summer with KYB's and Eibach springs.....

Let me know what you find out!

Hi I just got my max back I installed the illuminas and springs. Turns out my axel socket was loose! It's a 32mm socket that is at the end of your cv shaft. Check it out and make sure they are all impact wrench tight! That's about all the info and ideas I got for ya! Let me know...
