s13 front clicking noise

[ScrapnSidwayz]

Whenever im driving at parking lot speeds and i make sharp turns i hear a clicking noise comnig from the front suspension. I also hear it as soon as i come to a stop whenever I slow down. Anybody know what could be causing it?

I have tein inner and outer tie rods, new lca's pbm coilovers, and STK tension rods. I dont know what it could be. the only thing I havent replaced on the front suspension is sway bars and endlinks, could the old endlink be a possible cause of the clicking noise?

Thanks,
Mike

get down there and give everything a good shake and inspection you should find your problem that way, thats how i diagnose any random suspension noise i get, just start jiggling every arm until i find my problem...clicking is a weird noise, i usually hear clunks so it might be something rubbing...

well its not a constant clicking noise. its pretty much just a single click sound whenever i turn sharply at slow speeds or sometimes when i come to a complete stop.

i have got under there and i made sure everything is tight. i grabbed the hub and shook it and it is solid.

well, is there a possibility that it could be the tein ball joint or the new lca ball joint. i read somewhere that they both came pregreased so i didnt add anymore grease to them. maybe i should of??

idono click sounds weird to me, all of my noises are dramatic thumps lol, its possible if there is play in inner tie rod you should be able to twist the wheel left and right and hear or feel play

the lca i think is up and down movement of the wheel to check for that you should see or hear that as well

the issue i have all the time is a diff with play somewhere always makes noises and my tension rods are constantly working there way loose lol i need to locktight them or something

yeah i have checked everything and everything is tight... and new, cuz i spent all my damn money replacing it. it kinda sounds like on a fwd car when the cv joints are going out the clicking sound it makes. BUT MY 40 AINT FWD! so i dont want it making fwd sounds lol. its driving me crazy. i got clicks from the front, clunks and thuds from the rear, and rattling and creaking noises from everything lol man i love my s*** 40 though

hahah i feel you i got no interior no music system whatsoever always loud and thumpy haha i really dont know what it could be if you checked every arm and stuff for play then idono you said you checked your hub already could it be your dust sheild?

[ScrapnSidwayz]

haha same here man. i aint got interior or radio either, but hopefully i will get my radio installed eventually. but i prefer performance over everything else, so the radio is on the back burner for now.

but you doubt it could be the old a** sway bar endlinks popping or something? thats really the only thing that i havent replaced, it wont hurt for me to check everything again to make sure its all tight, so i will try to do that tomorow and see if i find something this time.

also i have been hearing this sound before i replaced my lca's and tension rods. i dont remember if the sound was there before i replaced the tie rods though because i hadnt been driving the car much before i replaced those.
