Can any one Help me My Evo 8 is make a clunking noise when you turn left and right and when you start off. I had it up on the lift but still can't seem to find it. Some people said it might be the transfere case so what do yoiu think.

 

where is the clunk noise from and at what rpms and how sharp of a turn?

 

t-cases usually don't clunk from what I've heard...

What did you do to your car anyways?

 

uh yeah they clunk when they are broken....especially when you are making a turn.

sorry to tell you this, but im pretty sure you broke your t case.

 

I had a clunk noise like you described with my accord. Ended up being the sway bar. I would check your front sway bar make sure it is secure.

 

the noise is mostly comming from the driver side and makes the noise when making left and right turns and starting out in first. You can still here when you hit the gas hard......

 

well, sounds like you have an excuse to replace your transfer case with a limited slip one.

 

I noticed you are in Philly. It has been colder there right? Did you have this problem when it was warm? Does the problem go away after the car warms up properly?

I am in Central PA and I have a similar problem when it's cold. My dealer was of no help but a friend suggested it might be an issue with the diff fluid getting too cold/thick after a cold night. I have no idea if this is correct but the facts seem to fit.

Hope you find the problem as it might help me out a but also.

sounds like your front diff. did you launch before you heard the noise?

 

When the car is warm it still makes the noise.....

 

maybe an axle?

 

So the sound goes away while driving? Shouldn't a broken transfer case make noise in all driving condition?

I had a similar noise problem in my Prelude, and it turned out to be a steering shaft.

 

I don't know what happen I dropped the car off at a friend of mine who has a grage and he was going to change the oil and rotate the tires for me and he noticed that the car was making the noise I did not here it when I dropped it off to him but I do have about 65 pass at the track with it......

 

If it is the TC, you are going to want to track down a used one.
New they are outrageous!
