Clicking When Braking And Turning? Anyone Knows What This Is Steering Rack? Brakes? Anyone? Help!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i had the same exact problem and took it to my dealer they tightened the cradle bolts and boom no more clinking... it would happen everytime i would hit the brake and turn

 

Yeah Thats Exactly Whats Goin On Wheres The Cradle Bolt Exactly Somthing Ican Do? I Have Bwoody Traction Bars On And Dont Want Them To Say ****

 

Do you know which ones?? I have a noise like that, sounds like drivetrain lash, but every time I look everything is tight. I never checked the bolts on the cradle though.

 

cradle bolts are in the front part of your suspension area near the shocks and springs and stuff.. my clinking was up front

 

Joe Wheres The Cradle Exactly My Freind Has A Lift I Can Use And Hes Good With Cars And Im Ok Im Sure We Could Take Care Of It. Like I Said The Less I Have To Bring It To The Dealer The Better.

Ha I Posted While You Did Ko Yea Mines Up Front Also

I Should Try And Find A Schematic Huh?

 

the cradle is basically a motor mount, you will see it if u look in the fenderwell, the bolts are on the bottom of the cradle..

 

Which Side Driver Or Pass? I Know Im Asking Mad ?'s But This Just Started Today And Im Pissed

 

both mine was on what soundedd like the right side.. I know how u feel dude i was really pissed to i thought my **** was gunna break

 

Ok, so when the car is on the lift next week getting new tires, I'm gonna go check all cradel bolts I can reach. I'll let you guys know what I find.

 

it is the bolts dawg.. I thought it was the cv joints gone bad.. tightened up tight and now everything is fine

 

Ok Good Thanks For Feeling My Pain Haha I Only Got A Lil Over 6k On Ther Had The Kar Over A Year Now Iand Was Like Wtf!!!!! Hahaha Ill Check That **** Out

 

So My Clicking Wasn Just A Bolt It Is The " Intermediate Steering Shaft". Not A Safety Issue But If You Have That Noise And Warranty Id Take Care Of It. And They Didnt Say A Word About My Traction Bars, They Better Still Be On The Car!

 

those shafts are common problems with our cars along with most GM vehicles

 

I hope not. I really never heard of an intermediate shaft making noise on the cobalts, or most small cars for that matter. The design is different. The Malibus have been having rack problems, sounds like a bad PS pump, but its the rack itself. They have the exact same system as our cars.

 

Well Common Or Not Theyt Better Fix It So It Doesnt Happen Again Im Glad The Guys Said Nothing About My Traction Bars, I Ownder How Far I Can Take It W/out Them Saying Anyhitng Ahahhaha Cuz Ima Do A Stage 3 C/a Kit New Axles Gauges Ery-thing! Hahah!!!! Also There Fixing My Shift Knob (the Lil Thing W' 1 Thru 5 Popped Off Afterlike 100 Miles So Ive Had No Schematic (not That I Need It, Also I Jujst Got A Warning And Infraction Cuz Sum Deuschebag Cant Take Ajoke So If I Dont Talk To Yall Again Ill Be On ************* Thanks For The Info

 

revival....i finally found out how to replicate my unusual issue with braking....my random occurrences where my brakes sound like theyre grinding and wont push in unless i push hard i never have because it feels like id break whatever is grinding....its like a metal plate is touching something thats spinning at several thousand RPMs that has gears....its hard to describe

anyway, i found that if i break while turning hard it will replicate the issue

im almost tempted to leave it tho, because it always keeps me from pressing VERY close to the limits of my traction.....its like my cars own fucked up ABS or something...lol

 

ok ..

 

just a heads up if anyone knows what might be causing my issue

 

They need to be lubed, my friends did that, sprayed some white lithium lube and it's all better

 

thanks yellow lt, i dont even know what an intermediate steering shaft is
