Clicking noise and accel/decel, and shifting. WTF!!!

[HaveBlue83]

ok, just started hearing this a few days ago. I usually listen to music, so i don't know how long it's been there.....not that long though.

-after putting a bosh rear o2 sensor in and it hitting my driveshaft and making a noise, i removed it and put in a ford o2. I listened again and now i hear this "click" noise whenever i get into it quickly and when i get off the pedal, and when i am shifting. sometimes it goes "click click", sometimes just "click". i can make it do it easily from 1st to 3rd gears, and reverse.

-i dont believe its anything to do with the o2. this is on a STOCK SVT focus 2002 with only an intake. STOCK exhaust.

-It's on the passenger side front as far as I can hear. when u are in a tunnel or next to another car you can REALLY hear it click.

-it's not suspension as turning doesn't make the noise.

-sounds JUST like a torque wrench when it Clicks.

anyone knew WTF it is? car drives FINE. it's just a freakin noise that is bothering me.

i have the same problem with my car and no one can figure it out

[HaveBlue83]

I talked with a friend and he said either axle or endlinks, but i'm thinking axle.

the infinity has the same thing in that video. The axles are only like $160 for both sides, so it's not that costly. maybe someone will chime in that has remedied this. I have pulled axles, but not because of a clicking noise....

i hope someone will chime in cause i wanna replace the right part the first time.. my brother works at firestone and does all the labor for free for me on his time so i just need to know what part to replace. doubt its the endlinks i had them looked at already mine are fine

Have you got ABS? Check there is nothing contacting the serrations on the drive axle.

my first thought was engine mounts. chech that they are still tightened up.

Don't cv boots click when they are worn? My mothers Subaru had that issue WAY back in the day, and it was the boots ... torn

Boots arent torn or leaking.

Motor mounts look fune. I KNOW what they sound/feel like when they go bad.
