I just want to say hello to eveyone, I just joined and I have a problem.

I own a 1994 Camero 5 speed. It is in real good condition and is serviced regularly. I have developed a clanging and popping noise in the right front area of the car. It has been more frequent lately and more ofton when it is warm outside. It pops when I turn, brake and accelerate. I have taken it to a couple of shops but they can't seem to find anything wrong.

Can you guys give me any advice or guidence.

Thanks,
Pam

 

ball joints wheel bearings jack the car up and try to wiggle the wheel

 

ive got the same problem with my car. new bearings, new ball joints, center link, and all grease points were greased. when it cools off, im going to check everything on mine, but i cant figure out what it is.

 

I also want to mention that if I have the car parked and I go up to the front passenger side wheel and pull up and push down I can hear the clicking and popping noise.

Thanks for any input to this situation, as the local mechanics can't seem to identify the problem.

maybe a bad valve in the shock

upper ball joint

micro u checked out tie rod ends

 

i have not, ill check them though when i can. the car passed a legitmate inspection (guy is a state trooper as well), so i know its not a safety concern yet.

 

I took the car to a trusted mechanic and was told that I need to replace the lower ball joints and tie rods. Part of the clanging was due towhere thecross bar and differential meet. He quoted me aprice of$378.00 which includes taxand an alignment.

As a woman do you think this is a fair price.....or are they trying to take me to the cleaners?

Thank you all for your input.....I really appreciate it.....pam
