Clicking noisesuper_man_736 11-09-2009, 06:55 PM I have a 96 2.2 when i accelerate from a stop sign or light i hear a clicking sound coming from under the front of the car. RahX 11-09-2009, 11:03 PM sounds like a bad cv axle J-Ri 11-11-2009, 04:25 PM Could be. A bad CV shaft will make a rapid popping noise (like a popcorn popper) which gets faster the faster the axle spins. They will typically only make noise while turning, but a very bad one could make straight-line noise too. If it's only one pop, then it's more likely (1) a bad strut mount (car lifts up in front a bit and partially unloads the mount. (2) a bad lower control arm bushing letting the arm hit the subframe/engine cradle. Have someone rock the car side to side and/or bounce the front up and down. If you can recreate the noise like that, use a long handled screwdriver as a stethoscope and listen for where the noise is the loudest. You may also be able to feel it pop, especially if it's a strut mount. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
