My RF clanking noise
(Being new here I apparently posted my post in general list instead of here)
1999 GS300
got a very loud clanking noise coming from behind right front wheel when turning (even turning just a small hair).
[ For comparison: It sounds like the metal dust shield behind the rotor is loose and hitting the wheel - thats the kind of clanking noise to compare to.] but its not loose or hitting and no signs of nothing scraping the wheel.
If you jack up the car the noise is completely gone . car must be planted on the ground to hear it.
I just pulled off the wheel and can find nothing visible.
I put wheel back on and left lug nuts loose and still loud clanking.
so I pulled wheel off again. nothing visible. no change to the above situation
The responses led to me to post:
well I'm thinking something with ball joint or tie rod or bearing then as noise seems to be coming from the center or lower area back inside from the wheel area.
I will just have to take it in just not sure where to take it to here in San Antonio area. I need to also have the existing caster issue solved also so would like to find a suspension specialty shop and not have to pay dealer prices.
Now another question after seeing this suspension forum is 1. Can I use the ball joints from a 2001-2005 GS300 on my 1999 without any modification or issue?
2. Are those upgraded Daizen parts sold online only?
