mine does it sometimes when I back outa my drive way. My driveways on a pretty descent slope and when I turn out of it. I think its just the car flexing. Also happens to me if the road is bumpy but I've got a stiffer suspension.

You are most welcome! I hope it turns out to be a loose piece of plastic rubbing against your tire.....

Good luck!

Negative.

Not that major of a problem to me to go to the dealer.

Very slight....I think it's normal.

If it gets any louder(which it hasnt) I will report back.

Other then that, I dont consider it a problem, but a slight annoyance.

I just had this start happening to me over the weekend, not normal at all....I'm going to try to get underneath it this weekend. Very loud click noise when i turn left to right or vise versa, I can feel it in the steering column and the floorboards.

auto or manual?
if manual put it in reverse. step on the brake.. let of the clucth slowly so the exhaust starts to shake.. if you hear the noise then its your s pipe or mid pipe.. if not.. then its something else.

it will take you 20 mins to run by a big o tire or tire kingdom to have em check your CV joints. might be worth it

plus most of these guys can look around at the rest of the car and see if its something simple, it may save you from going to the dealer.

check your cv boots just to be sure. if they're cracked, the grease might be coming out of the cv joint... the rice krispies are warning you that you need new boots/grease.

once those boots crack, replace them ASAP!!! cv joints are too expensive to ignore the boots.

rice krispies?

btw i have some weird noise from the rear.. if i take off that pannel which cover the back of the tails then i can hear something buzzing or what.. its almost like im driving on a gravel and all the little tiny dirt/stones are hitting the inner wheel well..


well.. its almost like that...

bot side.. driver and passengerits funny because it doesnt do it all the time.. i dont know.. some technician should lay back down there and listen to it.
