Hey All,
Searched around and couldn't really find anything that seemed quite like it was the same problem that I'm having, so here we go:
Car has been doing this since before I bought it 10/2011
Sharp left ONLY (usually when I do U-turns)--horrrrrible loud clicking sound from passenger side. Sounds very much like an axle click, however much louder and what seems like some rattling mixed in.
None of the CV boots on the car are torn, nor have they lost any grease at all- all clean and dry on trans and inside wheels.
When vehicle is lifted at a shop and wheels turned all the way left and wheel is spun by hand, there is NO longer any loud click. Only appears to do it with weight of vehicle on the wheels.
I have just replaced:
Ball Joints (upper and lower, both sides)
Wheel Bearings
Outer Tie Rods
Front Brakes (pads, rotors, hardware/shims)
There is no physically noticeable play in front wheels after replacing those parts.
I have a 1993 Del Sol S, Manual trans, Manual steering(factory, not deleted)
Options I can think of:
CV Axle is bad, just no torn boot. They DO look as if they are original.
Trans problem (noisy throwout bearing and it shudders a little if you don't feather the clutch JUUUSST right- I had initially summed it up as the clutch going out/not centered on flywheel)
Possibly a problem with rack and pinion?
If anyone else has had, or heard of, a similar problem, input would be appreciated.
