Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / February 2006Accent Makes "Chunk Chunk" Noise When Turning Left
Is it the bearings? How much is that to replace? :) Chris Chunk-chunk is not your typical bearing noise. Have it checked. > Chunk-chunk is not your typical bearing noise. Have it checked. It's a repetive noise that only happens when turning left. "Chunk-chunk-chunk" etc Any idea what it could be? Chris I hope I'm wrong, but if I didn't know better, that sounds like a failing half-shaft (one of the U-joints). I'd be checking the boots. If one of them is damaged, then you may indeed need to replace the half-shaft. Tom Wenndt >> Chunk-chunk is not your typical bearing noise.

Typically a half shaft costs around $75 plus core. It's a lot easier to just remove the old one and replace it, since you have to remove the half shaft in order to rebuild the joints anyway. I don't know the cost of the parts anymore, but boots are each around $20, so it's easy to imagine that the total cost of parts will approach the cost of the entire axle by the time you add in the cages and bearings.

I agree with Mike that replacing the entire halfshaft makes the most sense. I can tell you from experience that it's much easier, faster and more reliable than rebuilding the joints. because labour and parts to do just the joints and boots would be equall or more than just buying and installing a complete axel unit... and who knows how much longer the inboard joints will last.. >> check cv joints, if shot replace whole axel, not just the joint > > Why replace the entire axle? > > Matt CV Joint... >> Chunk-chunk is not your typical bearing noise.

Is this something that should have been fixed by them? Chris If it wasn't present at the time you bought the car, then I'd say the seller is not responsible for it. I presume your agreement meant anything that was currently wrong with the car, not items that could fail in the future. > If it wasn't present at the time you bought the car, then I'd say the > seller is not responsible for it.

I guess the question comes down to, is this something that would fall under Canadian safety requirements? If it is. They should have fixed it. If not, I guess it's our problem, as the car has no warranty. Chris yes it would fail a car, not safe to drive >> If it wasn't present at the time you bought the car, then I'd say the >> seller is not responsible for it.

Figure I'm SOL in getting them to pay for it? The car did pass the safety test that the dealer got done. Chris >> yes it would fail a car, not safe to drive >> > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Chris Good luck trying to get them to pay. It's not a expensive or difficult repair though.It could be much worse than a cv joint. Rob Id say stop making lefts and make rights instead, you will eventually get home.....:)) OR, replace the whole CV joints. my car used to make a "choo choo" noise while doing zigs zags, but thats another story........................................................................................................................ > Is it the bearings? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Chris |
