Weird noise when turning


Rzalza

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have a 2003 Subaru legacy gtb wagon and have just had fixed. A new oxygen sensor, leaking thermostat gasket and cv boot. Now before I took it to winger Subaru to get all this fixed I told them I had started hearing a clicky noise when I turn the steering wheel and I thought it might be the cv joints. They had a look at the cv joints when replacing the boot and said the joints look fine but I still get that clicking noise after I've driven the car for a bit and it sounds terrible, like ****ed cv joints. What else could this be if they said the joints looked fine? The noise only happens after I've driven the car around for a while.

If they only click when turning and there is no noise while driving straight it's the cv joint (one or both). Being that a boot was ripped it means that grease has escaped and dirt has entered, which will almost certainly lead to damage.

usually wheel bearings will make noise at all times and not just when turning

CV's can wear out over time without the boot failing or splitting. Or your CV's might already be on their second set of rubber boots too.

They've inspected the inside joint when replacing the boot, but could be an outside one that's clicking. Or as above, it's been split for a while now and was completely dry so has been damaged. It's been repacked with grease but still not enough, it needs replacing.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
