clunking

Post by cornfedgtz »

I have a 90 gtz with severe clunking on the drivers front end. Happens between 30 and 60 mph, and is a steady rythem turning left around 50 mph curves. Ive replaced the ball joints a month ago. Wheel has no slop when put up in the air. End links bad?? Steering rack? Struts? Please, any feedback will help. Shes my baby, and my daily driver. Im known as the guy with the GUN car.(BERETTA) Thanks

Stop feeding it corn!

Lol sorry I had to.

Check your axles. Does it happen at a low speed as well? Could be end links as well. What type of ball joints did you install? If they came from a plain white box, I'd start there ;)

Moog ball joints. It doesn't do it at low speeds. But it does it in reverse as well now.

If the rhythm that you describe is proportional to wheel rotations, I would think about replacing the driver's side CV half-axle.
