Rumbling sound on right turn*Now With Vids* UPDATED
1 - 20 of 21 Posts
does the rumbling seem to change based on speed, or engine speed?
like does the rumbling sound the same at, say, 20mph whether you're in 2nd or 3rd? or does it change depending on what gear you're in (higher pitch or faster in 3rd)?
i'm just trying to ask questions that should help everyone figure it out
i'm not 100% sure if i'll be able to diagnose it, but i figured the more information we can get the more likely we are to give ideas

No they are legit questions, I understand it is hard to diagnose something over the internet and every problem either sounds like a rumble or squeak on here loldoes the rumbling seem to change based on speed, or engine speed?

Well the harder I press the throttle on a turn the louder it gets until I get out of the turn then it disappears. If I take the turn like a granny I don't hear it, but give a little throttle and you hear it. Gear doesn't matter, but the same sound occurs.
I asked the transmission guy if it was my differential and he said it wasn't. All my gears shift fine so I am pretty stumped. It seems like the only time I hear it is when there is force on the driver side of the car. I have had it up in the air with it in third gear and turned all the way to the right, but like I said until there is pressure on it I can't hear anything.
i'll keep trying to help you diagnose it where i can...i know it sucks not to get a response, so maybe with some discussion we can either figure it out or someone else will chime in with the extra information
well since the noise doesn't change based on gearing, you're right...it shouldn't be transmission or engine related (you'd expect it to change with either)
now since it's a rumbling noise that's dependent on taking a hard right than you'd have to assume it's something on the driver side that would be worked more, like you said
i'm almost 100% sure you've done this, but have you double checked your lug nuts are nice and tight? (not hand tight/loose). this shouldn't be the issue, but may as well start cheap first.
another thing that went through my mind when i heard this....is possibly axle related? i haven't had axle problems myself but it seems it'd be part of the chain and possibly make a rumbling noise with throttle if there was a problem with one
EDIT: actually, the mounts are a good suggestion too
