What causes a popping noise in Drive gear and in Reverse gear?
If it is a front wheel drive vehicle it could be a bad CV joint. In a rear wheel drive car it could be a bad universal joint.
What is it if my car makes a thumping grinding noise at higher speeds?
Rear wheel drive: Possibly a worn universal joint on the drive shaft. Front wheel drive: possibly worn CV joints on the front drive shafts.
Where can you find a universal joint?
On front engine/rear wheel drive cars there is always a universal joint on the drive shaft. If your looking to buy one, you could check with your dealer's parts department. They either will have one, or can order you one.
Were is the universal joint located?
Rear wheel drive cars, there is one on each end of the driveshaft. 4 wheel drive has a short shaft that runs to the front axle, there is one on each end of that shaft. and each front axle has one on the end behind the wheel.
What is the purpose of CV joint used on front wheel drive vehicle?
a cv (constant velocity) joint is used to transmit power from drive train (engine, transmission) to the wheels like universal joints, but also allows wheels to turn (steer) in front drive vehicles
What is cause of noise when I shift car is shifted from reverse to drive or accelerate?
Could be a universal joint. If front wheel drive, it could be the constant velocity joint. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. If it is a standard transmission, it could be the throwout bearing.
Does a mustang have a constant velocity joint?
The front-wheel drive ones do - two of them. One for each front wheel.
You have changed tires and spark plugs had a wheel alignment done and changed the fuel filter but your car still shakes any ideas?
bent wheel, front wheel drive? bad cv joint, rear drive? universal joint, wheel bearing, plug wires, coil, injector, hard to say without more info
What type of joint is used for transmitting drive to the wheel in front wheel d?
im a black paki
What causes vibration and a clunking noise under the floorboard of your car?
On a front wheel drive car I would suspect bad CV joints. On a rear wheel drive car I would suspect a bad universal joint. Have a mechanic look at it right away.
What might cause a increasing noise coming from the driver's front side wheel with acceleration that transmits to a vibration in steering wheel?
If the car is front wheel drive, could be worn left drive shaft/universal joint, especially if you hear cracking noise when turning tight and accelerating. You can check for broken rubber boot around the joint. If the car is 4 wheel drive, noise/vibration can come from damaged front transfer case/differential which is sometimes offset on the left side - usually caused by tight turns in 4 wheel drive on dry pavement?
