hey guys, i need some help...

When I start up the car in the morning (or whenever the car has been sitting for a long time, ie. overnight) and then I back it out or drive forward, I get this loud *POP*... I think it's when I turn the wheel for the first time or something. It sounds like the tire blew but it isn't that.

I think this problem happened after I got my tranny rebuilt. I would go back to the tranny shop and report this error... but it's like the 5th time I'd have to go back and the bastards would keep my car for like 2-3 days for nothin and I'd be car-less... can't afford that

Any idea what this problem could be? Perhaps related to the springs/shocks or maybe the axel? Anything would be good, thanks guys!

 

 

Damn....I dont know s@#$t about it but i feel your pain.hope someone reads and replies

 

i know nothing of manual trannys but i think somthing is getting stuck, maybe clutch plate and when it moves it "pops" back to where it suppose to be

 

if the pressure plate was getting stuck he would stall everytime he tried to turn off the car leaving it in neutral and removing his foot from the clutch before shutting the car off, so i doubt thats what it is, maybe the trans shop removed ur axle and didnt reinstall it properly, let someone else move the car for u after its been sitting and try to hear for where the "pop" comes from

 

You have a sticky strut bearing. Your hearing the spring pop as it breaks loose.

 

yep i had the strut problem too. just jack it u p and re-grease the top mounts about the strut and other parts. it happend to me like 2 yrs ago and i brought it to my mechanic, he said its common and i should replace it. Yet he oiled it and if fixed it for good. good luck

 

alright thanks guys! i'll check out the struts
