for awhile now i have had a click noise coming from the front passenger side whenever i turn into a driveway or coming out of one. now i have changed the cv's and ball joints and just this weekend i changed the upper control arm bushes and didn't change anything, even though they were absolutly nackered. see the pics.

any other idea's on what it could be?

Wheel bearing is a possibility, esp if your sure the CV's are fine.

might be the top ball joint on your struts if you have the pillow ball coil over things

they loosen up sometimes and clunk

what the? can you get a pic.

i have the whole left side hub assembly so if it is the wheel bearing i got a spare.. if it was wouldn't the noise be all the time? thats what happen to my friends mazda. this noise only happens when i turn a sharp corner or turn into a driveway.

they can rattle all the time but they can also clunk while turning

way to tighten it is to grip the piston of the shock with multies (use a bit of rubber so you dont scratch the shaft then tighten the top nut

just get it up on a hoist and tighten eveny nut underneath if the shocks are already tight

      More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in

      Hell yeah. It's not as if the path from front to rear is particularly squirrelly or otherwise difficult.

      Hard line it, you will be thankful later on, if you car had hicas, use that as your return.
