popping sounds from axle-retake.

[accordztech]

before i posted about a popcorn sounding sound on my axle when i would sometimes shift early or slow down from 55 to 50.

well i revved my car in neutral today and if i rev and let off at 1.7 and it drops from 2.5k rpm down...i hear the pop...feels like from the drivers side again....this is dead stopped at a light.

its weird....i mean it happend when they took out that axle and done my motor mounts....iono acclude91 had some good feedback..hopefully he can help me out.

so have you guys had this problem?

'pop pop pop"

[cokinut]

i say it's backfire. "pop pop" sounds like backfire when either changing gears or accelerating and then decelerating. Correct me if i'm wrong. Either that or somethings wrong with your exhaust.

thanks for the replies.

no way its back fire...its actually comming from that axle if u put ur head next to the wheel...but of course sound travels through metal so it may be the transmission.

weird huh....crazy. ill find out for sure on friday, they are going to take it down and see whats up.

maybe a noisey broken wheel bearing?

[BustedLX]

If it's the driver's side I'd remove the timing belt cover and inspect the belt. The tensioner could be losse and the poping noise you here is the belt flapping around.

update
well its in no way the timming belt. all that work for nothing! haha. -thanks for the advice though bustedLX.

today i took the nut off the axle and then put it back on again....now i dont get that popping sound ne more. yet i get a slightly lower popping sound from the passenger side now. so i took that bolt off and tightened it as well...for some reason i couldnt get it as tight as the other side.....my 'mac tools' air gun wasnt pushing..nor was my breaker bar....i extended it with a pipe and i bent the bar =).

ill test drive it more tomorrow....also ill try and make the sound happen like before (rev in neutral).

when i used to put it in reverse i would hear a pop....but now i dont hear it any more thanks to tightening that nut.

if im not lazy..i may take off the axle and inspect the inner differential bearing and that part of the axle that goes in the tranny.

did you properly torque the axle nut on both sides? or just tighten it up randomly

[accordztech]

i attempted to torque it...but when i put it up to the max on the torque wrench...i couldnt go that high haha...i think the max is 200....i think spec is 265 torque? i forgot...

maybe lower...

[accordztech]

well we think its the main bering inside the tranny....the sound is being heard through the drivers side cause it may be travelling through the axle. its a myth but only can be explained if we take down the tranny.

it may also be just the axle but im getting no clicking noise and its a fairly new axle.

since new members on this board are here...maybe u guys have some more input.



this happend after i got my rear and side motor mounts replaced....the axle was removed. refer to my first post for more detail.

still makes the sound, but not harsh cuase i dont TRY and make the sound.

[accordztech]

if i push the gas it wont do ne thing but if i let off then it will make a howling sound kinda like a car downshifting.....

i forgot how to take my axles off LOLZ...i believe these are lifetime warrenty...but iono

i dont feel like going to the shop and complaining...they are SOO sure that its the tranny. im really getting annoyed....
