just wornderin if anyone has had this problem with there balt's?

on first take off under load the axles make a pop like tick noise.

i work at a chey dealership and have talked to technical assistance and they say to replace the axles i'm now on my 2nd set

any info

 

i have the same noise when i accelerate from a stop.i hear of alot of people with the same type of noise.I think its normal.I never launch my car,so i know its not from abuse.Im not worried about it though.

 

I had this same problem with my RL and they replaced one of my halfshafts. It hasn't done it again that i've noticed and it's been about 2 months.

 

usually a click when turning or under acceleration is your inner CV joint.. you do need to replace the axles, there is a way to tell which one it is

 

a lot of people have been having problems with the stock axles...i have had nothing bad with mine and they have about at least 30 pretty hard launches on them.

 

I have the same "click" noise when accelerating from a stop or while slowly moving. It's been doing that pretty much since day one of owning my car. I did have the dealer replace the half-shafts under warranty and that cleared it up for about 5 months, then the noise came back. The dealer checked them out while it was lifted up and the master tech said that there is nothing physically wrong with them; they replaced them since I kept insisting. The click is probably just a defect with them but hopefully will never affect drivability of the car.

 

is everyone referring to a click after you put it in gear and start to drive cause ive been hearing a clicking noise since day 1...when i put it gear and let off the clutch slowly i hear a click/tick noise.... when i got the car don't know what it is...either tranny or axles...???

 

mine does it in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and putting it in reverse then letting of the clutch...

buddy said it maybe the tranny mounts... and my oncle did it i think and since he has the Ingalls Engine Damper.. didnt do it since..

 

thanks i've pretty much do all that the set of axles i'm on now are holdin up so far just wonted to see if i was the only with this problem

 

Hmmm, my dealer gave me a BS excuse of something with my clutch assembly. AHAH, friggin idiots, I told them I wanted it in writing so that when I'm doin 120km/h down a major highway and an axle gives way, they cant say I didnt give them warning when my lawyers are on their ass!!

P.S I have the worst dealership in all of Canada I think!

 

have the ball joints checked.

 

checked thoes aok

 

No, come to manitoba. We all mainly go to the pontiac dealership for service now. My dealership is like pulling teeth.. if only i could use nos for the pain..

 

that would be the clutch engaging.

also i've seen sway bars make a creeking noise when accelerating.

 

Mine does too.. a single click when going from a stop in 1st or reverse. Seems like it takes a certain amount of torque to make it happen. If I take off very lightly it won't do it until I put on a little more gas.

 

Ya I'm thinking about taking mine to the pontiac dealership too... there is one like right beside my office so its a little better anyways. I just always thought the guys who made the car and sell the car would be able to service it best. They have proved that wrong enough times and not to mention their body shop cant put a door on a car nor paint a black door BLACK..... we wont get into that though..

 

yea checked those too not them

yea thats the noise i'm talkin about
