noise when turning left

marcellous Wallace · Oct 24, 2010

Hi there great forum! Was just wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a 2006 str TD Navara that has 80000 on it. Just the last few days I have noticed a clicking noise when I turn left. It doesn't have to be on lock to do it and it doesn't sound like a normal cv noise to me. (could be wrong there though as I have only heard faulty cv's in regular passenger cars) It doesn't click constantly, just one or two clicks whenevr I turn left. Thanks in advance
Mike

Have you checked the cv joint and are your hubs locked in.You shouldnt hear cv noise if the hubs are out.

Will have a mechanic check the cv's tomorrow. The hubs are free mate. Cheers, Mike

If its not the cv, then it could be the swivel hub making the noise. Pretty unlikely if it's a clicking noise, but not impossible.

My car makes a clicking noise when I turn either left or right. More like a ticking noise, really, goes tick tick ... tick tick ... in perfect time with the flashing arrow thingy on the dash too, so I think mine might be related to that.

Yours could be a cracked brake rotor, a bent guard/flap/shield, it could be junk in the CV causing wear. There might be something caught in the tyre - I've once had a nail that went in sideways into the tread and when I turned, it rubbed the inner guard.

Are you in 4wd ? On road or offroad ?

G'day guys, thanks for the replies. I took the car to my mechanic today and he went over it and found nothing wrong with it. Embarrassingly he reckoned that the shackle I had on the front tow point had loosened itself and was swinging over when I turned left and hitting metal, causing the sound. I feel like a complete idiot and my wife reinforced how much of an idiot I am. Happy though it was something so simple as the car goes up for sale in a week. Cheers for the info guys, Mike
