My car sounds like a metronome
Hey Guys,
Im just looking to get some input from those with more experience than me. I've looked around and can't seem to find any threads/info/videos that list symptoms exactly like this. I haven't had an opportunity to look underneath yet as this started happening as i was driving to put her in storage. The thumping started soft...i turned down the radio to make sure i wasn't just hearing things...5 minutes later it wasn't drive-able. The thumping increases in speed relative to acceleration. it also occurs going in reverse. The thumping you hear in the video is me going 5 mph. I have no idea how to post a video so im hoping this youtube link to video will work. |
rod knock/spun bearing
|
Something broken in the drivetrain. Too slow to be rod knock. Does it increase with revs or wheel speed.
Rod knock would follow revs but not wheel speed. |
Not rod knock, too tinny/hollow. IMO, based on speed and tempo, that's a fully fucked u-joint in the driveshaft.
|
Oooh, thats a good one.
I'd also put $1 on a broken u-joint. Something like i found looking under my truck a few months ago |
Thanks for all the input!
Yea it increases with wheel speed. Could it be inner cv joints? I know both of my inner cv boots are torn and need replacing. Jabroni before me had it slammed, i suspect that caused it |
Yes, could be that
|
Not to oversimplify the issue, but have you made sure your wheels are tight? I had a similar sound on the way home from work yesterday because my LR wheel was about to escape. Stupid HF torque wrench, can't trust 2 year old Chinese kids to make anything anymore.

Thats a good idea, i'll check the lug nuts, but i have a feeling it wont be something so simple. I'm not that lucky lol

SOLVED! Finally got to my storage building with a jack and started poking and prying. My joints and CV axles were all fine....so per TehZacks suggestion i checked the lugs... sure enough lol front left were wicked loose. Thanks for the suggestion bud.

loose lug nuts...good catch
Had that happen years ago after picking a car up from a transmission shop, scary to think what the outcome could have been. |
