Noise And/Or Vibration In Turns

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A clicking noise and/or a vibration in turns could be caused by one of the following conditions:

  1. Loose hub nut. Using a click-style torque wrench, tighten hub nut to 244 N.m (180 ft. lbs.).
  2. Damaged outer CV or inner tripod joint seal boot or seal boot clamps, which is evident by the presence of grease slung outward from the joint. This will result in the loss and/or contamination of the joint grease, resulting in inadequate lubrication of the joint.
  3. Noise may also be caused by another component of the vehicle coming in contact with the halfshafts.
