I can't really feel it through the steering wheel. I can hear it and feel it slightly in the floor pan. I can feel it sometimes when I am applying the brake pedal while traveling around 30 MPH or so. I feel it about 1 second after the car starts moving from a rest upon acceleration. It is not the slip yoke clunk, this sounds more like a loose mount or some suspension thing. It doesn't change in 4 wheel drive either. You know the sound the car makes when you put it in park and then the vehicle rolls back and the stop gear (or whatever it is called) in the transmission makes the click sound? It sounds similar to that except louder and coming from the front driver side of the car. It seems to make this noise when the car starts to move. I wonder if the brakes would make a sound like that? I have replaced the pitman and idler arm. The shop said the ball joints and everything looked good, but that was almost a year ago. Thanks for any help! |
the pop sound is usually ball joints...grease ball joints if the noise changes or goes away for a while then you know...these parts will rapidly wear/rust out if not greased....drive thru flooded roads lately..?
