Gts4: Clicking When Cornering

[hayden]

When i corner in my R33 GTS4 i hear a clicking noise coming from the outside wheel (so when turning left the noise comes from the right wheel and visa-versa). I presumed that the noise was bad CV joints so i had them inspected, however they are in perfect condition.

The noise is relative to speed (The faster i am going the more often the clicks are), and seems to be affected by temperature, on cold mornings when the car is cold the clicks are louder. Today for example (its pretty hot outside) i havent heard the noise once. The same thing when i took it to the mechanic, he drove it for 30 mins and never heard the noise.

Any idea what could be causing the sound?

I have a similar problem but my clicking noise only comes front the front right and only happens occasionally so would be happy to hear what people think

not sure from both of your posts if its a constant clicking noise similar to the cv joint noise, but if its a simple 2 click or three click noise your getting it may a front bush.

For example on my silvia i had a front lower control arm bush i think (could be wrong it was a long while ago) and everytime i would hit a drive way or a dip followed by a rise it would basically dislodge and hit steel on steel (bolt to mount).

one weekend took the car to pedders and paid my $14 for a sus check and they picked it right away.

sounds like you boys could have a problem with a bush somewhere.

Whatever the problem is its getting worse, i am now getting a vibration (in a constant pattern, so every x seconds i'll feel a vibration/jutter. The faster i go the more frequent the vibration).

Should i try taking it to pedders, or go to a 4WD specialist? I took the car to AUtech last week, but the car never clicked once the whole time it was there (this is before the vibration started though :-/

Wheel Bearing

[Green_s13]

i second the wheel bearing as the problem, i had a similar issue and was wheels bearing, one very easy way to tell jack the car up and see if you and move the wheel side to side (as not in the rolling direction) if you feel play in the wheel it will be the wheel bearing. the other things to look at are the steering rack mounts they can do simialr things

Problem ended up being both the front tyres were delaminating. Replaced the tyres, now all is fine.

I heard a clunk type noise..increasing as I turned corners.

Your clicking could be bearing..or tyre...

Mine was the tail shaft was loose...
