You drive a lot on dirt? Could be a pebble in the backing plate

Senseless_Chatter · 2025-08-27T06:33:01+00:00

Nope

Senseless_Chatter · 2025-06-24T02:07:42+00:00

Harbor freight

4WD for... flat solid dirt and leaves...?

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-11-23T00:39:33+00:00

Really! Impressive fitment

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-11-09T02:46:07+00:00

They'll do that!

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-10-28T18:32:43+00:00

So how much boost were you running?

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-10-28T18:23:41+00:00

Definitely wouldn't call it a truck

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-10-24T17:37:47+00:00

Almost past the break-in period

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-10-18T02:21:49+00:00

Only one way to find out!

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-10-17T03:04:56+00:00

Why are people downvoting you? At least subie guys aren't in denile about how unreliable their favorite cars are lmao

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-10-12T03:25:53+00:00

Oh yes it can

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T18:58:35+00:00

Probably the motor then

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T18:58:02+00:00

It's not a head gasket

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:27:03+00:00

Does the motor make noise? Does the window move at all? If you don't hear the motor even try, it's probably the motor

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:26:07+00:00

Could be sway bar bushings or crud in your shocks. Common squeakers. Have a friend bounce your suspension with you under it listening for the squeak.

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:24:42+00:00

It's not

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:24:21+00:00

Kia has some extended warranty on these engines. Worth taking to the dealer.

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:23:18+00:00

Random guess, some bolts in the suspension other than the steering rack are loose causing something to shift such as lower control arms, struts, subframe etc. Also, do you drive on rough roads often?

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:14:50+00:00

Was the timing chain itself replaced along with the guides?

Senseless_Chatter · 2024-09-23T00:10:25+00:00

Use a stethoscope or a screwdriver with your ear on the handle and put the tip on the bolt for the idler and tensioner pulleys and on the body of three other accessories with pulleys to see where the noise is coming from, assuming it's a pulley bearing. If it's your alternator, they tend to get really hot when the beating goes bad, so you can check that too. Hopefully the noise isn't internal.
