CV boot need to be repair if it make that sound when your turning.

CV boot is proly ripped, fix it soon so it doesnt damage the cv joint. if the boot is in tact then the cv joint is bad.

thanks guys - thats what i thought...

bigbird · 06-24-2008, 04:48 PM

if there is a higher quality one then OEM then id prolly go that rout. when i had my gen3s with the 2" drop the boots tore even with toyota OEM ones. may be an isolated incident but just a heads up.

yeah, the slamming has been giving my car hell ...

i think this was drop-induced, and ive also noticed an abundance of squeaking ... which i believe to be the old bushings and what not, but i really dont have time to overhaul all that stuff

Ah.... Check the Coilover first noob!!

It may be that the lock rings/ spring plate may have gotten loose....

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Normally, if it's a cv joint, you hear it when moving, not sitting still like that. I guarantee its the spring/coilover.

hmm ... ill check

i JUST tightened them like 3 days ago when i raised the front 1/2" up - but maybe i didnt tighten them enough

My friend, drive over a 4x4 or 2x4 and then commence to jack...

Venom_5 · 06-26-2008, 12:15 AM

i need at least 5"

the jack can fit under, but the jackstands cant - they are too tall at their lowest setting

Venom_5 · 06-29-2008, 04:54 PM

got under there yesterday .... the spring seats were infact loose, so i tightened them up as much as possible with those stupid half-wrench things from K-Sport

all i had last nite while driving around was the typical squeaking that i think is from the pillowball mounts maybe? but its not enough to bother me
