after racing a few times im on my way home.. and my car starts to make this ticking sound..it feels like its coming from the front right tire. after a while it got worse and made a knocking sound that u can feel from under the car..does anyone knw what could be wrong.

 

when does it make the noise? mine makes a wierd noise that i thought was the suspension when i take off and sometimes when i shift or something, but i think its just the airfilter hitting the engine bay.

 

If you can actually "feel" a knocking/thudding type of noise, check that wheel immediately and see if your lugnuts are secure. I too had a clunking noise (coming from my left front area of car) and thought my suspension was going or my tire picked up something.

When I pulled my car into the parking lot, I popped the damn hood, checked to see if there way anything loose in the engine bay, checked all around the tire, brake disc, etc. Next, I checked my lugnuts to make sure they were tight, and guess what, the fuc*ers were loose as all hell. I could actually spin them freely with my fingers. My frickin' wheel was literally walking itself off the damn studs. Thank God I pulled my damn car over. Apparently, the person who was working on my car, didn't torque down the damn lugnuts tight enough, or forgot to torque them down altogether. So, I jacked the car up, tightened the things down myself, and the issue was resolved.

Anyways, hope you find and resolve the problem you're having.

 

i did take off my left tire that day.. it only seemed to have a prob about 5 miles after i was done workin on it..it was only a little noise and vibration but the more i drove that day it got worse and worse.. ill check the lugnuts when i get home .. thanx for the input .anyother advice u guys got would be appreciated

 

Lucky nothing happened to ya

 

Crankwalk =P

 

it could be your cv shaft. when they go bad the usually make a knocking sound and can cause a vibration that you can feel in the car. if it clicks when turning then its the outer joint and if it only clicks when going straight then its the inner joint but it ones bad your better off just replacing the whole shaft

 

how much do those run

 

if thats the problem would it be ok to drive to a local shop to have it fixed?

 

you can get em from advanced for about 150 but its just going to be a remanufactured one and if you launch hard on it all the time it will most likely break again after awhile youd be better off getting a fidanza one or the driveshaft shop there more expensive but its woth it if you do a lot of racing
