Jonas240z Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hello guys, I got a quick question for you. Here is my ploblem. My car is making a pretty loud "pop" metalic noise when driving & turning eighter direction, and i'm able to feel it through the floor pans. Is feels like someone is hitting somenting with a hammer. The thing is that it does not make the noise all the time. It makes the noise more often if i'm driving slow (20-30 mph) and when passing over a bump or a hole on the street. So far i visually inspected the suspencion and steering components and i don't see anything broken or out of place. When the car is parked i bouce the suspencion up and down, front to back, side to side and I hear nothing. Recently I got all of the bushings replaced with polyurethane ones, got new shocks, springs, strutbars. All this was done before that sound apeared. I'm just starting to work on cars so I have no clue of what it could be? I you guys could help me i would really appreciate it. Thanks. PS My car is a '73 240z.

72zcar Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 sounds like a loose u-joint to me. I would check them as soon as possible to see if any of the nuts have come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Check that the nuts on the TC rods are still there and tight. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas240z Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 I checked the U-joints and they are fine. Nothing lose. I also believe that the TC rods are tight....i got to check them again. Any other ideas?? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I'm with Tim, sounds like TC rods are loose. Try to tighten the Big nut on the rear of the TC rod. Also check to make sure both ends of the sway bar are hooked up. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Maybe a half shaft u-joint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
