What causes a thumping noise while accelerating and the faster you go the louder it gets but when not moving there is no noise?
It could be loose lug nuts, CV joints, U-joints, wheel bearing, bad tire or any number of problems not mentioned. But start with the above, in the order mentioned. If your car isn't front wheel drive, it doesn't have CV joints. If it IS front wheel drive it doesn't have U joints.
What causes a pathfinder to make a tapping noise when the wheel is turned while accelerating and sometimes when going over bumps?
It might be the CV joints. Go to a front suspension specialist and have it checked out.
2003 alero makes humming noise while driving?
most likely bad cv joints or wheel bearings. If the bearing is bad it will produce a loud whining noise the faster you go and if it is a cv joint it will make a clicking sound turning corners or when backing up with the wheels turned.
Why does your steering knock when you turn slowly?
When CV joints start to go bad, they make a knocking sound when you turn the steering wheel - you might want to get them checked out before getting stranded somewhere.
What could be the cause of my 1999 Toyota Camry making a clicking sound when I make left turns?
You should check the cv joints on your drive line. When they start to go bad they'll start clicking when you turn.

How do you know if your car's CV joint is bad?
Generall when your car's CV joints are gone you will hear a clunking noise coming from the front CV's usually when turning corners but may happen regularly when they are really bad. Generally what causes them to go is the boot is split which allows dirt in and destroys the joint. Stick your head under the car and if the boots around the joints are split....its time for new (or reconditioned) CV'sYou will hear a clicking noise on turnsIt is usually most noticeable when pulling out left or right from a stop sign. You will hear a clicking/clunking noise, increasing with the speed of the wheels and fading as the steering wheel returns to a centered position. This is made by the outer CV joints, as the most stresses are placed on them they tend to wear out faster.If the flexible rubber boot around the CV joint is torn, and/or there is evidence of grease leakage present, they will rapidly wear without immediate maintenance.I think you mean axle shaft joint. The usual symptom of a bad axle shaft joint is a crunching noise when turning corners.apart from a visual check, leaking or split boots etc, the best way to get a CV joint to misbehave on demand is to drive on full locks from side to side. this puts the joint under maximum stress and will produce a knocking noise if faulty robb1. Physically examine the rubber "boots" that cover the cv joints. If they are cracked or leaking grease and you haven't dealt with the problem IMMEDIATELY, the cv joints are probably bad.2. When turning the wheel sharp, if the front end makes a clicking or banging noise when the vehicle moves you almost certainly have bad cv joints.when you make right and left turns and a clicking noise is present or if when the car is jacked up the rubber boots on the cv joints are expose.Clicking noises from the front wheel(s) while turning.Also, inspect the CV joint rubber boots - if they're torn, you're almost guaranteed to have to ultimately replace the half-axel.When my Taurus CV joint completely broke in half (because I didn't know about the symptomatic clicking noise!), it was in the parking lot of the repair shop! Good timing.A (CV) Constant Velocity boot covers a precision power transfer joint. The broken "boot" allows contamination of the joint. Broken boot = early mechanical failure.
How do you know if your cv is bad on a 95 corolla?
Best way to diagnose a CV joint failure is to crank the wheel to one side and back up, if you can hear a loud clicking like noise you should consider changing it immediately. The way you can tell what side is the bad side is if you crank it all the way to the right and hear the clicking it is the right side and vice versa. Driving on a bad CV joint is a bad idea so if you can hear clicking go replace it NOW. If a CV fails while driving it can really chew up the differential and the transmission and then you have more problems than you started with. P.S. as a fellow Toyota user, they seem to burn through CV joints for some reason so buy one with a lifetime warranty!
Cost to replace CV joints 2002 Mercury Cougar?
well if its anything like replacing the axle a refurbished one is around 70-100 plus cor charges. but you can look at a salvage yard.. they tend to be a lot cheaper Parts like CV joints (half shafts) should be replaced new. You have no idea how much time is on used ones. You could go through the entire process of installing it then have it be bad ....and a bone yard will not guarantee them.
What is the dimentions for a common CV joint?
Go to http// www.ks-motorsport.de/de/pdf/MotorSport_GB_03.pdf This GKN site lists CV joints for use in motorsport, but the basic joint sizes are the same as commonly used road versions.
What causes a hub to go bad?
The hub bearing can go bad and create noise.
When you change the carrier bearing on the axle should you change the one going to the transmission?
A "Carrier bearing" is only used on a "split driveshaft" vehicle; such as a truck or long wheel based car. Front wheel drive cars, such as the cavalier (that this question is categorized under) are CV joints (Constant velocity joints). When rebuilding any CV it is almost required to rebuild both of the joints on the axle; it would be silly to go that far in the repair and not do them both.
