avensis front axle sound and *****

[andrewysk]

i don't know how to describe this:

but it has being over 7 times that my avensis t27 diesel 2 liter 2004 front axle make a noise and ***** feeling that i can feel.

when i started to drive out of my car from parking, especially when turning, the front axle is noted noise and *****..

it is like the wheel is frozen with ice, and the ice slipped a bit and broke loose.. that kind of sound and *****. it happens only once each drive.. i can't duplicate it.. it just come everytime i make a turn, and it i believe only  happened when the car just started to move from a parking position.

initially, i thought it was a pebble or due to lately cold weather, the tire might frozen a bit of ice and it slipped and cracked when the wheel turned...

 

but after repeated incident .. i don't believe that any more.  could it be "front drive joint" starts to give way ?

anybody have problem with this ? i brought it to the agent to check, but they didn't find any issue at all..

 

btw,

when i switched to reverse sometime i heard a sound...sounds like come from brake link....

it is like when i arrived in front of my house, i stopped and reverse in.. that's when i heard a metal hit sound.. or i can't explain.. just in my mind it is a metal knock sound of brake link arm...  or something like that.. i don't even know if it has metal brake link arm or not.. haha  suspect brake issue... maybe brake stick....

 

 

 

 

anybody ?

The clunk noise is the pads striking the caliper support bracket. 

The pads should be held within the bracket with metal clips. If these are missing or worn then the pad can cause the knocking you describe.

This is for the t25 which fit your car if a 2004

 

There is also a possibility that the slider pins are also worn - but the knocking noise would be happening more often if this was the case.

hii,

i didn't consider that because this car is only 2 years old.. how can all these happened ?  and it doesn't make sound all the time.. maybe once a day... that's all... once or the most twice a day.. if that's the problem it should be making noise all the time i press brake..

do i have a point here ?

 

thx.
