Front Suspension Bolt

Front Suspension Bolt

Front-end noise. The suspension, CV joint or what?

1) Every time you turn right and press the accelerator I feel a series of clicks in my wheel. No I feel the clicks when I'm coasting through the turn right (no accelerator) or make a left turn (With or without foot on the accelerator). I just Can not find what side (left or right) is the problem. CV boots are in good condition (No rubber seal broken). 2) Recently, I feel the click wheel hitting bumps at low speed. All suspension bolts seem tight, but I do is not the problem. 3) It is a 2003 Chevy Impala SS (3.8L). He has been involved in a frontal crash 2 years ago and has been isolated damage to front bumper and radiator (without wheels or suspension systems have been injured). The clicking noise only started a few months, rather than immediately after the accident.

I agree with Fred C, I was a mechanic for 17 years and What you described sounds like the CV joints, as noted, even if no damage to the rubber boots could be presented mechanical damage inside. You see the CV joint is a cardan shaft, began a series of steps that help maintain the articulation of grinding metal on metal, these levels are filled with grease. Although the boots are maybe the grease used in the interior point does not lubricate the bearings with me. When this happens, it is preferable to have replaced by the fact that the bearings are spent by the constant heat and friction. If this is not supported when you might run the risk of foreclosure Common CV and making him lose control of any direction or worse than the total control of the front. Recently I changed a set of constant velocity joints for a client and the total cost of labor and matched cent.and ran him $ 265.00 if you are a decent mechanic It only takes 3-4 hours total to complete the task start to finish. If you have any questions, contact me.
