IS this how one gets the idea to replace all the c/v joints?
I have been driving the wheels off the car this past year after getting things sorted. Way back when I cleaned and repacked/rebooted the c/vs and then went on to sort out other areas of car and not drive so much. This is different now. While today is very cold, this low frequency clunk when rolling off seems to be a harbinger of new parts to come. any thoughts? thanks Eric IT seems cv'sclunking and longs crunching have some sonic similarities. anyway I've confused the two here! |

The 2 times I've had cv's go out there was no warning at all. No sound, before, during, or after. Next thing you know, you're walking home. In both cases the cage snapped and the balls went all over the place. It doesn't take much force to snap the cage so it's not surprising you wouldn't be able to hear it over the din of the engine. The times I've heard odd noises that I attributed to cv's ended up being other things like trans mounts, loose muffler, engine mounts, etc.

I'm apologizing for posting without inspecting, going on a faulty premise. I guess that is another thing I like about 914eening. I can always can improve trouble shooting skills. I forgot I had a standing mental note to remove engine and repair long/inner/engine tray in 2009. THE clunk was the last bits of the bottom of the long crumpling where it turns to go up to susp.console. About two months off schedule! I investigated with an air chisel. This car had f/glass hellhole repair,and little sheet metal layers added to obscure condit of long down by floor jack tray. Spot repair of rocker jack point...all this is now in a bag. Restoration pcs quickly add up to 750$. For the time being i've patched the outer side of the long. The full repair entails fender snipping, and engine removing. Engine is working well, and I'm still not done loving my new 911 Sport trans Mounts. The scope expands also. I've not mentioned outer firewall problems, and rear edge of floorpans. So for today I patch... Any More thoughts?Besides changing the title of the thread?    |
