A clicking noise from drive wheels during acceleration can be caused by several factors, with the most common being worn or damaged constant velocity (CV) joints. These joints are crucial for transferring power from the engine to the wheels while allowing for suspension movement. Other potential causes include issues with the wheel bearings, loose or damaged suspension components, or foreign debris lodged in the wheel assembly. It's important to inspect the vehicle promptly to identify and address the source of the noise to prevent further damage.
Coming from the drive wheels? Could be worn CV joints
That is when all your wheels are accelerating.
It CAN be CV joints, but it depends on the sound.
Make sure it's not in 4 wheel drive.
Could be a universal joint gone bad.
sounds like a front wheel drive with bad cv joints, which are your drive shafts going to both front wheels.
You did not say what kind of vehicle it is. If it is a front wheel drive, it has drive axles and if the drive axle is going out, it will click especially when you turn the wheels.
None. Every engine has a drive shaft, which connects to the transmission, and ultimately causes the wheels to turn.
GENERALLY, WHEN A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING, IT IS ONE OF THE INSIDE CV JOINTS THAT IS OUT. THERE ARE DRIVE SHAFTS THAT COME OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND THEY HAVE BOOTS ON THE INSIDE CLOSE TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BOOTS ON THE OUTSIDE CLOSE TO THE WHEELS. THE INSIDE BOOTS AND JOINTS TEND TO SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION WHEN THEY ARE OUT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
Drive wheels can be identified by checking the vehicle's drivetrain layout. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the front wheels are the drive wheels, while in rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear wheels are the drive wheels. All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles may have all four wheels as drive wheels, but typically, the power distribution can be checked in the vehicle's manual or by observing the axle configuration. Additionally, inspecting for the presence of a differential and drive shafts can help determine which wheels are drive wheels.
What kind of howling? Or is it a whining? Where does it sound like it's coming from.
Your hard drive. If this is happening your hard drive is already dead. Back up your most important data NOW and get a new hard drive.
