civicferio Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Dear All, I want your help to sort out issue with my ek3 2000 auto. About 3 months ago, when I inspect a car I saw, driver side CV boot damaged and grease had come out. Then I replaced the driver side CV boot from reputed mechanic. After about one or two weeks I felt there was a small vibration while taking a left bend (turning in to the left). Steering wheel can feel it much better. I interchanged tires, front tires to rear. I did a wheel alignment. But it is still there. It is noticeable while going up a hill and taking left bend with accelerator pressed. No any vibration when going straight and turning to right. It is also noticeable when taking a left turn with high RPM (let’s say above 3000). It only comes when turning to left. Very much noticeable with the high RPM. Thank you in advance.

0 Ripper Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 maybe your left cv joint is kaput! once the boot gets damaged and grease goes out and crap goes in....it doesn't take a long time to destroy the cvj if you have done wheel alignment, chances are your suspnesion bit were checked during the process and things like rack ends should be in good health.

0 Supra_Natural Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Im inclined to think it's the CV Joint too based on the symptoms you've mentioned. Try this, when turning put the window down and listen to see if you can hear a sort of constant ticking, "Tak Tak" kinda noise. If you do, then it's most likely the CV Joint which is the problem. Best get it checked at a good garage soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 The Don Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Check your wheel bearings and also there are some stoppers holding the brake pads in place which sometimes get missed out or fall off. It's not dangerous but it does cause a bit of noise. In my car my mechanic just fabricated a new one and the noise was gone. But it was not a vibration just a metallic noise...

Question
civicferio
Dear All,
I want your help to sort out issue with my ek3 2000 auto.
About 3 months ago, when I inspect a car I saw, driver side CV boot damaged and grease had come out.
Then I replaced the driver side CV boot from reputed mechanic.
After about one or two weeks I felt there was a small vibration while taking a left bend (turning in to the left).
Steering wheel can feel it much better. I interchanged tires, front tires to rear. I did a wheel alignment. But it is still there.
It is noticeable while going up a hill and taking left bend with accelerator pressed. No any vibration when going straight and turning to right.
It is also noticeable when taking a left turn with high RPM (let’s say above 3000).
It only comes when turning to left.
Very much noticeable with the high RPM.
Thank you in advance.
