metal pinging/ taping sound .??????

blak max · 07-28-2016, 02:54 PM

I have a metal pinging/ taping sound coming from what seems like my front passengers side... The bolts at the top of the driveshaft cv that connects to an adapter were loose but I've fixed that and the sound is still there..

I have
- removed the front passenger brake dust shield
- removed the rotor and didn't see any scoring
- greased the sway bar bushings
- tightened all suspension bolts
- moved the dipstick a little further from the long tube header
- removed the front wheel spacer

Sound is there when car is in motion (with engine on or off )

rusted cat heat shield, check engine bay could be engine bushing, or something loose.

Well after few more hearing tries, if it doesn't do that when you turn your steering, it might me hub bearing.
