A clunking noise from the wheels while the car is moving may indicate several issues, such as a loose or damaged wheel bearing, worn-out CV joints, or a problem with the suspension components. It could also be caused by a loose lug nut or issues with the brake system. It's important to have the vehicle inspected by a professional to diagnose the problem accurately and ensure safe driving. Ignoring such noises can lead to more severe mechanical issues.
You need struts
Hi I'm Patrick and I have a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim and that annoying clunking sound is coming from the rear wheels there's a bar that runs down the middle of the rail that holds the wheels together and when you go over a bump that bar smacks the canal it sits in and makes that sound so I just got my welder out and welded it to the canal to keep it from smacking.
A clunking noise when turning, especially from the right side, may indicate a problem with the CV joint (constant velocity joint). This noise often occurs due to wear or damage in the joint, which is responsible for transferring power to the wheels while allowing for flexibility during turns. However, it's also possible that the noise could stem from other issues, such as worn suspension components or a loose exhaust. It's advisable to have a qualified mechanic inspect the vehicle to accurately diagnose the source of the noise.
Chain alignment is off between the freewheel and front chainring. Also check chain tension when installing the back wheel.
A clunking noise when shifting gears on a K1500 automatic transmission, might mean a problem with the drive axle or drive shaft. Check all U-Joints to make sure they are working properly.
If you operate a front wheel drive vehicle, the clunking noise you hear may be a CV joint bearing going bad.
When your rear trailing arm (rear control arm) are bad you will hear a clunking noise when going over bumps and potholes .... This noise is louder and more noticible while you have passengers in the rear seats..... You will also hear your tires squeek a little on turns
it could be that your exhaust pipe is lose, i saw a Forester (a litttle newer than that) with the same problem.
"Did you hear that noise?" -or- "Did you not hear that noise I just heard?"
check exhaust to be sure it is not coming loose somewhere. May be problem in steering or suspension. Check struts tie rods etc
either ur brakes ar gone or going so just check ur pads or ur cv joints are stuffed. u will show if u heaps a ticking type noise when u go around a corner on the side that u hear the noise from
Past: Heard (e.g. I heard a noise) Present: Hear/hears (e.g. I hear a noise, She hears a noise) Future: Will hear (e.g. I will hear a noise)
