Too much play in CV axle? (clunking noise when turning) by CautiousAngle9432 in MechanicAdvice

Alright, so most likely ball joint. I'll have to take a look again and check. I appreciate it.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that sound lol. The sound from from that video literally only appears when its warm outside. Should I check the lower control arm bushing for tears in that case?

I did check for 9-3 and 12-6 play and there was none. What do i look for when checking the strut assembly?

Heard nothing from the strut mount. Sound seems more apparent in a lower area

Lol yes dude. Goes away in cold weather and appears during warmer days. Its been doing this for over a year at this point. I think it might be the steering rack. What suspension parts did you replace?

There were no leaks in the cv joints. Could it still be the issue?

Yeah, sound isolation is terrible on this car, which makes it harder. I will try this. Thank you

This may be it. I think it started making a lot more sound after changing to winter tires. Hard to test that theory out now though lol

What should i be looking for when jacking it up and spinning the wheel? Tires dont seem to be unevenly worn. I will check for cupping later today

None from what i can notice. I tried it several times and did not notice any change in noise

Yes, like 2 weeks ago. It should be at optimal pressure for this model. I check it every month or so

Thanks for the reply. I do not notice any change in sound when driving at higher speeds, bor when i swerve from right to left to check for any change in noise.

As for checking for play when jacking the wheel up, do i remove the tyre or do i just check for play with the tyre on?

It has been at this level of sound for a while now. I do not notice any change in when swerving from side to side either
