Camry :: Replaced Both Front Struts And Creaking Sound Coming From Front End

Last night, I replaced both front struts with Monroe complete sets (new springs, mounts, boots, struts, etc) and I had my front rotors smoothed out. That cleared up about 75% of the noises coming from the front of my car Except for one.

Whenever I'm braking, there is a noise coming from my front left wheel. It's not a brake squeal, but more like a creaking sounds that comes around with each rotation of the wheel. It slows down with the car, and I can make it last longer by doing a slow roll with the brakes one. So when I'm fast it sounds like "Crk! Crk! Crk!" When I'm going slow it's "Creeeeeak... Creeeeeeak... Creeeeeak..."

Last night, I also replaced the sway bar link on that side. The brakes are smooth and the tires were balanced a couple months ago (no steering wobbles at any speed)

Ford A/C :: 1999 Expedition - Only Hot Air In The Front

I bought a used 1999 Expedition Eddie Bauer about 2 years ago. It has been a great truck until recently. The A/C system now only has hot air in the front. I can still get cold air in the back.

The truck has the EATC and I ran a diagnostics check and no faults were reported. Additionally, I can push the buttons on the control module and all the air comes out in the correct positions.The only fault is the lack of cold air.

I have seen bunches of threads about Blend Door failures. I reviewed "lvmilkman2002" thread on the blend door motor. However, on my Expedition when I removed what he detailed it appears to be a blower motor and not a Blend Door Motor. I reviwed the other threads and the actuator that is talked about that you can access from behind the glovebox is also not there.

Where can this actuator be located and how can you check it for operation!!! I am going to attempt this repair this Friday while I have a long holiday weekend.

Ford - Expedition :: 2000 - Metallic Clicking Coming From LR Wheel At Low Speed

Having a problem with my 2000 Expedition AWD/4WD. When I'm braking to a stop, there's a metallic clicking coming from my LR wheel. Doesn't matter if brakes are applied or it's rolling free. Starts at about 8 mph and stops at around 2-3. Had a broken parking brake cable, but clicking is still there after replacement. What's next? Wheel speed sensor, perhaps?

Golf/GTI VI :: Thumping Sound Coming From The Front Of Car

In the last few days I have been hearing like a thumping sound coming from the front of my car. It is happening when i going through a turn with some bumps, slightly aggressive, but not crazy. Haven't been in the canyon since it started so I am not sure how it will react pushing the car to about 7/10. Which is about as close to the limit as I will get off track. The sound has come at about say 4/10. just off ramps and stuff. It sounds very similar to a car with very tight coilovers. Could it be the XDS working? It isn't a clicking like a traditional diff, and I don't expect that it is. But obviously I don't have a lot of driving experience with an electronic diff like the XDS. I will take the car to VW as soon as i have time.

Golf/GTI VI :: Knocking Sound Coming From Front When Turning

I have recently started hearing a knocking sound coming from the front of the car when i am turning. It does not happen with every single turn, but i notice it mainly when i am at a standstill and go to make a relatively sharp turn and give it a good amount of gas. Now I am not trying to do a burnout or fly off the line, but its not a grandma start either. slightly more enthusiasm than your normal daily drive start.

Passat (B7) :: Odd Shuddering Sound Coming From The Front Suspension

So I took my 15 Passat sport into the dealer this morning because of an odd shuddering sound I was getting from the front suspension. Of course the car didn't make a single sound while we were there.

Then tonight when I went to back into a parking spot I heard what I first thought was the typical groaning of pads and rotors slowly moving except that I wasn't.

Check this out .....

This is simply me going from reverse to drive. No change in brake pressure and no movement at all. Shuddering type noise when hitting drive way or steep speed bump at an angle? I can feel it through the steering wheel.

Impala - Chevrolet :: 2003 - Sound Coming From Front End?

As of late I am hearing a sound coming from the front end of my 2003 impala. It doesn't occur all the time but sounds the same each time. The sound has the sound of what a bolt that is loose hitting against a piece of steel. At first I only heard it when I excelerate from a stop. It was a quick sound and didn't always happen. Then yesterday I drove over a pair of rough train tracks and now itore often. However it continues to be a sound that does mot happen all the time.

Expedition :: 2000 - Loud Clicking Noise From Front End At Slow Speeds?

I have a 00 expedition 4wheel drive eddie bauer. 100k miles. New tires, recent alignment, new upper ball joints and tie rod ends, recent suspension change over to passive system with new shocks. Also must note I have "newer" front wheel bearings but they were from advance auto and not the suggested Moog ones.

I have a loud clicking noise at slow speeds. def sounds like its coming from the front area. Speeds up and slows down with acceleration. brakes do not change noise other than slow it down with tires. The truck also vibrates on the highway. I notice the tires are wearing (cupping)

Is it the cheap wheel bearings? what is the best way to test for bad wheel bearings? i think they are under warranty if I can find the receipt. Anything else i should test? can it be c/v joints or something?

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Knocking Sound Coming From Front Wheels

The last issue I have to tackle with the GS450h is a knocking sound coming from what seems the front wheels and mostly the right wheel. This is when driving over a ditch or uneven road like a cobblestone road.

This issue was present before the RSR down sus springs were installed (i.e. in factory setup) but has since gotten more obvious, probably due to the more rigid suspension. Initially I thought it may have been the brake pads, however when braking harder (beyond regenerative braking system) it remains present. So I think the brakes can be ruled out.

The suspension and wheel setup have been checked by the Lexus dealer three times now and by a suspension specialist. None of them could find a thing wrong with it. What it may be?

Camry 2012+ :: Slight Clicking Sound Coming From The Front End

Have a 2012 Camry LE with about 12,000 miles on it. Lately the weather has been warmer so I'm driving with the window open and I've noticed a slight clicking sound coming from the front end (only when turning right) when going through a corner like an off ramp on on ramp. I tried tapping the brakes but that had no effect. It almost sounds like the brake scraper, but not as harsh. The original brake pads couldn't be worn out yet.

Prius (2004-09) :: Sound Coming From Left Front Of Car When Accelerating

I have had my 07' Prius about a month now and have noticed a odd sound coming from the left front of the car when accelerating. When I accelerate I hear an off metallic crackling sound. It almost sounds like marbles swishing around. The sound is coming from the left side of the car in the engine bay. If I had to guess it sound like it's coming from under the invertor area. The sound only happens when I am accelerating at a moderate pace.

Ford - Alignment - Escape - Noises :: Whom Sound Coming From Front-end Between 45 And 60 MPH

Two months ago, my 2011 Ford Escape (27,000 miles) was sounding great. I took it in for a standard oil change and tire rotation. When I picked it up they mentioned that they found a nail in what is now the passenger-front tire and patched it for me. When I drove it home, I could hear a sound like "whom whom whom whom whom" coming from the front-end between 45 and 60 MPH.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt and drove it for 2 months until yesterday when I finally had enough and took it back to have them look for a cause to the problem. They said it needed an alignment and we went ahead and did that. HOWEVER, they said that after the alignment, the car would make the same sound for 500 to 1000 miles and then it would go away. I got the car back, and at best it sounds the same, and at worst it maybe sounds worse than it did.

My question: Is there any reason the car should make the same sound for 500 to 1000 miles after the alignment? Also, was it an alignment problem or do I need new tires or something else? I suspect I have been screwed by the dealership.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Thumping Sound Coming From Lower Front End

It's come to my attention that I have a thumping sound coming from my lower front end. It only happens on low rpm's and I can hear it best when it's in neutral, if I give the brakes a little push I can hear it louder, more profound, and can also feel it on my feet a little, but I don't only hear it while I have the pedal depressed. So..what it could be?
