Look at the front CV Axles. you have 2 rubber boots per axle. I bet 1 or more has torn and lost the grease that lubricates the cv joint. Crawl under front of car. look at center area of tire, see the axle? look for the rubber boots, one close to tire, one close to engine. if they are torn you will have grease flung around the area. check both sides.

If you can figure out what side it is coming from, it is probably the velocity joint in the half shaft (drive shaft) going to the wheel. Please rate my answer so I am rewarded points for it.

SOURCE: knocking in motor whe ni first start it

its a possibility that you have a bent rod and with a cold engine its knocking against the cylinder when the engine heats up you wont notice it because then the cylinder has expanded

SOURCE: Noise in Susp or Steering ("clunking") Chrysler Town & Country

Pretty common item on those is the upper strut mount & bearing assy. If it sounds like front wheel area. If it feels like it's under your feet, stabilizer bushings. Mounts are about $50 each roughly, but don't try to install yourself unless you have proper compression tools & are experienced at that particular job, as it could get very dangerous.

When I turn or go over a dip in the road it makes a pop and grinding noise

I would say it sounds like cv joints need replacing.also check bushes and ball joints for play. If ok turn steering on full lock both ways.start with full lock on right turn pull away slowly if you get knocking noise you will know it's that side is worn and then do same on left turn on full lock.

Rpm increases when I turn the steering wheel to the left or right. Neutral or in gear

i think it is normal because the steering wheel is run by the engine thru belt, so when you turn either to left or to the right the rpm will increase or there is a noise engine, unless it is a knocking sound, which is not normal

2007 Dodge Durango. Clicking/knocking noise heard and felt through the floor more so front passenger and driver, usually occurs during braking or cornering, will hear it if I turn a direction eg right, if...

Hi there,

it could be:

>wheels rubbing on inside of wheel arch
>steering linkage hitting something

Try putting the car on a lift/ if you can, and get someone to steer it full lock to full lock both sides whilst you observe the steering mechanism, then you might be able to see what's happening.

Have a nice day :)

Chevy cobalt noise knocking in front end when you turn the steering wheel from left to right. Also knocking noise over bumps.

Hello and welcome. this noise is normally caused by a noisey steering I-shaft. there is a steering shaft that goes in between the steering column and the steering gear. this shaft has a slip joint that becomes noisey. all you need to do is lube the i-shaft with some special lube and you will be good to go
