I was looking for a place to park my '72 Westy where I could keep an eye on it when I went to eat at a resturant. I drove on the sidewalk, and parked it there. When I left, I drove down the curb, slowly, and took off. No wierd noises, no crunching at all. Now, when I turn a hard right, or accelerate hard, there's a loud clicking coming from the front end on the right side. I'm gonna get to it this weekend, but was just wondering if anyone had any idea where to look. Could it just be a quick easy fix?

Look under the right front of the car if the noise was coming from the right front of the car. Yes. It might be an easy fix. Even a little rock between the dust shield and the brake disk or the caliper and the disk, even a tire hitting the stabilizer bar after you mangled the tie rod when you smacked the curb at-speed and tried to pass it off as slowly walking off a curb  Ya just get to get under there and look.

Ahahahaha.
If the tie rod end is bad, the extra play could cause it to rub the inside of the rim when the wheel is turned all the way. |
