maybe bad cv???

so there has been a popping noise coming from the pass side of the car...
i have yet to rotate my tires to see if it is a tire issue...Not only is it a noise but it shakes the whole entire car...The only reason im bringing this up is cause it gives me a damn headache. when im on a bend in the road going right the noise disappears. when there is a bend going left it gets louder and more violent. Maybe the cv joint? Also at low speeds turning i barely if at all feel it.

CV's normally "click" when they're getting bad. If it's more of a moaning/groaning noise, it could be a bearing. Does it shake the car, or more like a vibration?

[scort2498]

vibration everytime it rolls over...hopefully it is just the tire. brb i will rotate my tires and be right back.

[scort2498]

nope not the tire switched the tires up and it still comes from the pass side.

Didn't you replace the CV's when you did the tranny?

Check your ball joints.Ball joints normally pop.

[scort2498]

no i didn't josh. but i believe i have a pass new one sitting in the garage.

shouldn't be the ball joints those are the things i replaced last time i did the tranny.
Also would the ball joints only make noise when turning one way and not the other?

I believe so since you are putting more pressure on one side when turning the car.turn left and it is putting more pressure on the left side than the right and the opposite when turning right.

well im getting a new ball joint free then. if thats the case i would like more oppinions...

Is it in the wheel or just on the right side? Did you check your motor mounts and covers? I have a bad bearing in mine i think, when it was running it made a buzzing sound not a popping.

CV's do pop.....had em go out on a Renault GTA while doing 140 (or from doing 140) down I-80. It was a popping that got continually louder until we lost one side, then became a funky noisey vibration until we lost the other side (at which point we abandoned ship).

You would feel a ball joint in your steering I would think. Would be pretty easy to visually verify if you lifted the car up (or that wheel).

wheel bearing...
