Random Crack From Hell! When driving! - 6G Celicas Forums

Been occuring for almost a month now, Gentle or aggresive driving (accel/brake) + right turns seem to cause a "crack" or knock sound -> (eg. turn right as you exit the turn *crack* u counter steer *crack*)

Engine mounts r still shining pretty, engine does not have accesive movement, tie rods ends make no noise when cranking the wheel while stationary.

More suggestions Please, as well as how to test your theory!

its an axel. its probally the passenger side, carrier bearing.

I just replaced my axel and the bearing cuz they both went. (or 1 led to the other.)

Hmm.. there is no noise at a stand only when at speed or turning at speed

check wheel bearings as well but sounds like an axle.

to check your wheel bearings/hub's, jack the car up and take the tire at the top and bottom and push/pull on it...it should not move or make any weird noises, if it moves even a little bit you need new wheel bearings...do it side to side and top to bottom or in/out

I don't even have to lift my car off the ground to tell u they move side to side with the steering locked (about half an inch) i just use my HE-MAN super strength and rip them back n forth. wheel bearings or carrier bearings?

or tie rods... up and down is the test for wheel bearings.... left and right is inconclusive with the wheel on

i was referring to the left and right movement... just because the wheel moves left and right does not mean the wheel bearing is bad... up and down is the test for wheel bearing... your tie rods could be bad and not making any noise - a separate issue altogether

cv boot cv axel and tie rods and all surrounding bushings in the near by vicinity are fine. Spend 2 hours under it. still no diagnosis. wheel bearings seem fine
