Check the hub for tightness. A Loose-worn hub can cause clunking or scraping noises. If hub is loose, it will need to be replaced. Dennis

But...its intermittent. drove 30-40 miles yesterday...no noise, drove last night noise the whole time. i first thought it was a scraping, but maybe its a knocking noise. occurs at the same rate of speed as the wheel rotation., sounds like its coming from the right rear wheel. only on accelleration or slowing down. goes away, while coasting out of gear, or engaging the clutch. not affected by engaging brakes or emergency brake while coasting or driving in gear. seems like if it were the cv joint it would be a constant noise ? as suggested ,, tried driving in full tight circles, both left and right., doesnt make noise. any suggestions ? |
