hey guys, last night when I was driving my car 89 lx 5.0 manual i could hear a clicking sound coming from the front drivers side any ideas before i tear it all apart tonight? It has new brakes and rotors.

Need more info.
What were you doing when it happened (turning, hitting a bump, etc), can you reproduce it by doing the same thing, etc.

I heard the same thing this morning when I was turning left. I was wondering what it was too. I just replaced my springs with FMS C springs. If anyone knows let us know....

it does it all the time. just while you are driving

it only did it that one day, but I made it do it again and again. but since then it hasn't done it, not to say that it's not going to do it again. I'm getting a wheel alignment right now and I told them to do a complete inspection of everything.

I have a similar problem with my 89 GT. Except on mine the clicking noise only happens when I FIRST accelerate on any gear, 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc..

I don't know if had anything to do with it but my starter bolts were backing out. one of them was so far back that it was almost out. like I said i don't think that it had anything to do with it but that it was loose as a goose.

Sounds like rear control arm bushings.

..thanks, I might have to look into a decent set of upper & lowers. It only does makes the clicking noise every other time now, so i might have some time to play with. thanks!!

It might just be a loose pulley
