Heya guys, been soakin up the knowledge here for quite a while, even if the post count doesnt show it
Finally had to give in and ask this one though, as i dont want to jump in and spend more money than necessary to fix a terribly obnoxious almost knock sound from the left rear corner of my car...little description is in order.
When i first bought my car there was a loud repetetive knocking noise from the left rear corner under deceleration above about..50mph. it went away when i put the car under load until i hit about 70, then it popped up regardless. hard right turns also brought it out, and decelerating rights at high speed? scary. I assumed wheel bearing, and sure enough, the bearing was bad. I had it replaced, no more noise. Not a month later, it was back. it cant be the bearing again....can it? Ive racked my brain and come up with u joints, wheel bearing again, or maybe a shock ( kinda matches the clunk, but the shocks feel fine to me ) Any help you can offer as to how to diagnose it, or even a cause i might have missed would be greatly appreciated. Just dont particularly want to deal with the wheel bearing or ..*gulp* rear end, if not necessary. Thanks!
