Hey everyone,
I’ve had a look in the diagnosing noises section of the site and can’t seem to find anything pertaining to front wheel drive axles on 4×4 vehicles.
I understand that my front axles turn even when in 2wd because they are always engaged to the wheel.
Is it therefore possible for a front CV axle to be making noise while turning sharply in 2wd?
I’m just trying to track down a clicking noise that seems to happen most during sharp left hand turns and is more prominent when turning sharply over bumpy ground.
Any help or info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tyler

I’m back again and I feel kind of stupid now, I found out what was making this “clicking” sound when turning sharp and going over bumps.
This is a bracket that is supposed to be bolted under the master cylinder that retains the PCM wiring harness. When I had my master cylinder replaced by a shop a few months ago the guy obviously never put this bracket back so it was just hanging on the wire harness bouncing against the firewall every time I hit a bump and for some reason it must have hit harder while turning. Odd thing is that the frequency of “clicks” almost seemed like a bad CV axle….
Anyway I hope this helps someone at some point, which is why I’m sharing my “Doh” moment with you… :blush: lol
Thanks anyway,
Tyler
PS. My question about the CV axles still stands, can 4wd front CV axles make noise in 2wd?
