CLUNK! is it the axles, tcase, strut etc....???
sorry not sure which section to post in but here it goes.. (if not MODS MOVE to proper section)
ok well i recently had tranny and clutch work done.. had my evo8 trans rebuilt and a excedy twin disk installed. Had proper break in... 2 weeks later i take it to the track launch like i normally do (slip clutch a bit) and take off.. got a good 3-4 runs in that day not bad, nothing wrong
2 weeks later i go to take it the track again launch same way and noticed it bogged bad as **** out the whole for some reason, i thought it was just maybe a bad launch or watever didnt think much of it. so i park the car let it cool for 30 or so then get back in and when i get out the parking spot and turn right the steering wheel almost struggled to turn as if someone was holding the steering wheel in the opposite way i was trying to turn and when i let go of the wheel it jerked the opposite way WTF!! so i drive a little bit and noticed that its okay when i go straight but once i go into a turn i hear loud *** clicks and banging as if somethings breaking in trans/tcase or axles.
i pop the hood and see grease all over my firewall above the drivers side axle boot and same on passenger. so i figured i blew my axles. couple days later i get some axles (rebuilds) at olympus to replace them along with new outter tie rods and replace them all and some new diaqueen gear oil. So i get the car on a lift to inspect better and to see if there was anything else wrong. then i notice that tcase drain plug was finger tight and really loose.. so we go to drain out the tcase to see how much was in there and only about less than half a quart was in there. we go ahead and take the axles out and noticed the metal clamps on the boots were broken and grease was dripping out causing it to shoot out everywhere
once installed i go for a drive and same encounter the same clunking noise when i go into turns at normal speeds without reducing the speed before the turn.. but if i reduce and take the turn slow and easy you dont hear anything. now the car kinda jerks heavy to left or right side depending on if i slightly turn the wheel along with what sounds like tire squeeling noise???
wTF!! anyone know what it could be or what i should check for?
UPDATE:
reading this thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...d-noise-2.html
could be the following:
-more load front left strut/ spring causing clunk!
-Front sway bar endlinks
-Replace suspension top mounts with Aluminium Pillow Ball Mounts
-axles not in all the way
-tcase gears all f'd up
-rubber stablizer link getting warm
-loose ball joint
